You in Me and I in You: Scenes, Reflections, Meditations & Prayers On Intimacy With God

“For Jesus, intimacy with God The Father meant knowing and being known. This mutual knowing and being known was the river of eternal life they shared, whose source was continual, mutual, self-revealing, self-giving love.”

It was for this same intimacy that we were created!

An inspiring and highly creative challenge to Christians to move into new depths of knowing and being known by God

You in Me And I in You emphasizes both the merciful love available to us in Jesus Christ and the radical challenge of the Gospel to enter life by the “narrow gate”. An excellent book for use in private or group studies, retreats, or quiet days, it includes brief summery notes and questions for reflection and/or discussion.

Unusual in both form and content

You in Me And I in You is like an anthology in that it includes a wide variety of material from dramatic scenes to in-depth teachings; from prose to poetry; from very personal reflections on the most serious issues concerning the Christian spiritual life to outbreaks of humor, which can lift the heart and invite us deeper into the heart of the One who is the source of all true joy.
