Knowing God Intimately
Being as Close to Him as You Want to Be
By Joyce Meyer 

Joyce Meyer, from St. Louis, Missouri, is one of those rare ministers willing to admit her faults and use them as examples to better others. Her no-nonsense advice embedded with God’s word helps Christians – both men and women – walk more securely in Christ. The best-selling author is also known for generously quoting and recommending other men and women of God and crediting her husband as the strong Christian example in her life. Meyer’s thirty-minute sermons and radio spots have captured the attention of Christian women all over America and her ability to make those women feel normal in their everyday walk with God has captured the attention of Christian men.

Meyer is tough, outspoken and knows the Word of God. She isn’t ashamed to admit that she, too, continues to grow in her relationship with Him. In her latest book, Meyer’s discusses a Christian’s personal intimacy with God. She begins by leading the reader to Christ, then delves into the four levels one can reach in seeking God. One impressive chapter in the book is about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In sharing her own personal experience, the author shows the reality of it and how it can lead one to a higher level of intimacy with God, but let me stress that the author points out the Baptism of the Holy Spirit isn’t necessary to get into heaven.

Joyce Meyer is the narrator of the audio version of Knowing God Intimately. Although her voice lacks that straightforward tone known to resonate from the stage in her conferences, Joyce still has the ability to reach out with sound advice backed by God’s word that will guide listeners in their walk with God. This book is an absolute must for one’s personal Christian library.
