Is intimate relationship with God possible? Yes, it is - and this small but powerful book shows you how. "It's not a religion, it's a relationship." As often as we say those words, in today's Christian culture it can be hard to understand exactly what it MEANS to have a relationship with God. Author Carolyn Currey traces the history of relating to God through the lives of six biblical heroes - Abraham, Moses, David, Matthew, John, and Mary of Bethany - teasing out the attitudes, traits, and actions that "won God's heart" and moved these individuals from mere encounters with God to deep, lasting friendship with him. You too are loved by God. You too are called by him. You too can know God in the most profound way possible.
