by David Ferguson

In this resource, you’ll learn about the most important intimacy needs and how they can be met. You’ll learn what it sounds like to meet the need of attention, what it looks like to show support, and how impacting it can be when we meet the need of comfort. You’ll learn how God has met these needs for each of us and then discover the rich potential of relationships when we meet these same needs in the lives of one another. At the end of each chapter, you will find discussion questions and suggestions for practical application – ideas that can enhance any friendship, marriage, or family. A great follow-up for an Intimate Encounters marriage class or small group. Perfect for a partner and small group experiences. An ideal introduction to relationship principles for anyone hoping to deepen the connections among friends, family, and ministry settings.
