Intimacy, by Henri J.M. Nouwen, explores the following 'How can I find a creative and fulfilling intimacy in my relationship with God and my fellow human beings?' Nouwen's answers to this question describe the connections among friendship, romantic love, sexuality, prayer, and mental health. Intimacy may be especially helpful for readers who serve in some ministerial capacity--the chapter on depression among seminarians, for instance, will be a cloud-clearing relief to many readers. However, Intimacy contains much helpful counsel for all Christian readers who are discovering their 'seldom articulated and often unrecognized desire for a real home in this world'.
