Intimacy with God is more than a devotional—it’s a divine invitation.
In this powerful and prophetic guide, Herman Bouwer opens the door to a deeper, more personal relationship with the living God. Rooted in Scripture and rich with spiritual insight, Intimacy with God explores the essence of walking closely with the Father—where abiding in Christ becomes a lifestyle, not a ritual.
From the foundations of a shared life in 2 Peter 1 to the faith-filled footsteps of biblical giants like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham, this book unpacks what it means to live, move, and have our being in Him. Each chapter is both a teaching and a challenge, calling readers to embrace transformational truths, cultivate spiritual intimacy, and live obediently as true friends of God.
Whether you are newly seeking the Lord or have journeyed with Him for years, Intimacy with God will ignite your hunger for His presence, equip you to hear His voice, and inspire you to live from a place of divine purpose and power.
You were made for more than ministry. You were made for communion.

And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity]. [Isa. 55:10; Hos. 10:12.]
Hosea 10:12 AMP
Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness.
