Intimacy With God

"I came home from work one evening, needing to talk to God about something. There was something on my heart. I wanted to pray but did not know how. So, I lifted my hands in the air in surrender to God."

As a young girl growing up in a religious home, my life was deeply molded by what my parents taught me. They belonged to the Pentecostal church, and they made sure that I was ingrained in the Bible from a very young age.

My understanding of religion at an early age was that there was one right way, and that way was Pentecostalism. I did not know that I could have a personal relationship with God. I did not know that Jesus died for my sins that I might have the assurance of salvation; the gift of eternal life. In coming to Christ, I now had a Heavenly Father.

In Intimacy With God, the author Rejoyce Zikpi shares her story about her personal faith; how doubting God turned into an intimate journey with Him. If you have ever struggled with your personal faith, or have a desire to have intimacy with God, I hope this book will encourage you.
