Intimacy with God: Revised and Updated: A Bible Study in the Psalms

by Cynthia Heald

This topical Bible study for women by popular Bible study teacher and Navigator Cynthia Heald shows how the Lord personally meets with you in the Psalms. As you progress in your spiritual formation, you’ll become more honest and vulnerable before God as you track the Psalmists’ struggles and triumphs on their way to intimacy with God. Make fresh, personal observations with the help of quotes from classic Christian authors and thinkers, and you’ll spend more time reflecting and less time looking for “right answers.” Includes discussion questions.

Reviews

[Shannon]

I usually enjoy Cynthia Heald's devotionals more than most, but I didn't really connect with this one. Maybe it was because it was about the Psalms, which is not one of my favorite books in the Bible.

[Sharon K F]

Great Bible study on the Psalms. I have always liked Cynthia's style of Bible study.

[Julie Reynolds]

Great Bible Study. Try it out with a group of your choosing.

[Crossroads Ecc]

Heald selects beautiful psalms and accompanies them with beautiful quotations from great Christian thinkers. So many of us that participated in the study of this book fell in love with the Psalms: as poetry, as great writing, as honest records of real emotional struggles, as celebrations of God and his work in his people.

[Becky B]

Heald uses a handful of Psalms and quotes from Christian leaders and hymns for each of these 12 devotionals to walk the reader through principals of intimacy with God. Private reflection and contemplation are encouraged by thought-provoking questions related to each topic.

I like some of Heald's other writings better, but this was still a good devotional based on the Psalms.

[Kate]

I learned that my relationship with God is real and personal and that He is real...in a way that I never imagined before...and that He thinks of His children constantly.
