Joyce Meyer has written over 50 inspirational books, her work has been translated into more than 35 languages, and she is known worldwide for her "Life In The Word" radio and television broadcasts. Now, bestselling author Joyce Meyer reveals the four levels of intimacy and explains to readers how to have a deep fellowship with God in KNOWING GOD INTIMATELY: Being as Close to Him as You Want to Be (A Warner Faith Hardcover; April 1, 2003; $21.99).
Joyce Meyer's ministry, "Life In The Word, Inc." has reached out to more than 2 billion people around the world. Her preachings are broadcast on more than 300 stations, including the ABC Family Channel, Court TV, and the Trinity Broadcast Network. Joyce's books and teaching tapes are enjoyed internationally, and she travels extensively conducting "Life In The Word" conferences.
Using powerful real-life examples, this book shows readers that a profound joy can come from a better relationship with God. For example, in a section called "The Spirit of Truth," Meyer relates scripture to her own experience:
"When the Holy Spirit began working in me, He put a book in my hands written by a woman who had also been sexually abused by her father. As I started reading that book and began to realize that the woman who wrote it had gone through the same experience I had, I started feeling some of the old emotional pain. I threw the book on the floor and said out loud, 'I will not read this book.' Yet, as I sat there I knew down deep inside that the Hole Spirit had led me to that place in my life and I needed to take His hand and go through it… God won't bring any revelation to you by His Spirit until He knows you are ready. When He does bring revelation to you, you need to believe that you are ready, whether you feel like it or not. We should trust God, not feelings."
KNOWING GOD INTIMATELY will help those who hunger for a deeper relationship with God and who are willing to seek Him daily-from Sunday morning church-goers to other who feel something is missing from their lives. Joyce Meyer's words ring true as she draws on her own tragic background for her strength and her incredible capacity for tolerance and forgiveness.
