Book Review: Intimacy with the Almighty

This book written by Charles R. Swindoll in 1996.  I purchased the book sometime before 1998 and enjoyed he reading of the book.  However, it didn't mean as much to me as during this time in my life.  While we are involved with so many ministry items we are missing out on an intimacy with God.

Swindoll in his 80 page book discusses the need for us to have an intimacy with God.  In finding intimacy we need to made some decisions and establish some disciplines.

He discussed our need to make four decisions and establish some disciplines in our way to se

1. Recording One's Private World: The Principle of Simplicity.

2. Being Still: The Discipline of Silence.
3. Cultivating Serenity: The Discipline of Solitude.
4. Trusting the Lord Completely: The Discipline of Surrender.

I relate to a lot of the things in this book.  It is interesting how the Lord planned about 14 years ago that I would need the material in this book.  The Lord after prayer would lead me to pull this

 book off my shelf to read.  If you are dealing with overload and need to stop and think about life in general this is a great book.
