Fully Known: An Invitation to True Intimacy with God

by Mo Isom

We were made for intimacy--spiritual intimacy with God that brings oneness and bears powerful fruit. We were made to know Him and be known by Him, fully. So why do we often feel burnt-out, distant, and disheartened in our journey of faith? How do we cultivate true intimacy with God? And what does His design of physical, sexual intimacy unveil of the full gospel story?Sharing Word-backed, Holy Spirit-breathed revelation with humility and openhanded honesty, New York Times bestselling author Mo Aiken walks alongside us through the beauty and power of life lived in active communion with God, rather than the self-seeking, counterfeit faith we've settled for. Unpacking eternity-defining concepts that have become confusing, offensive, or altogether ignored--like submission, repentance, sanctification, holiness, and discipline--Mo shows us how God has given us a physical model of spiritual intimacy through His design of marriage, sex, and family. Exposing many roots of selfishness and perversion we see so often in our relationships, both human and divine, she invites us to pure-hearted and transformational communion with our Creator.If you've felt far from God, caught in broken relationships, dead in religion, and longing to be fully known, join Mo on this journey of return to right-natured intimacy with our First Love.

This book was really good and convicting (though a little wordy at times). I really enjoyed her writing style and there was a lot I had never thought about. This book is a blessing.

[Sydney Wall · Rating 2 out of 5]

DNF…there were some good points, but I found myself trying to finish it just to say that I did finish, and not because I wanted to. I found it very hard to get into.

[Tamara M · Rating 3 out of 5]

I appreciated author's honesty and straightforwardness in addressing the way we usually think about intimacy with God, and her challenge to look at it differently.

Wow! This book transformed my view of intimacy with God. It made it seem possible, attainable, and something desirable. I would highly recommend to any believer!
