Books Quoted in Leader’s Guide for An Invitation to Intimacy

Post image for Books Quoted in Leader’s Guide for An Invitation to Intimacy

Each week of teaching An Invitation to Intimacy, you will find quotes from different authors that I used to help illustrate different areas of study. Below, I have included links to most of the books I quote so you can see what they actually look like. I have listed the titles under the weekly heading whenever a book is introduced for the first time.

Throughout this study, you may wish to purchase a copy of a particular book cited to add to your own personal library. You may even discover that you already own some of them.

When you click on the titles, you will be taken to Amazon for further explanations about each book. This will also give you an opportunity to purchase any that interest you.

I will continue to update this page as new and interesting titles become available that I enjoy using in my teaching. Feel free to send me your recommendations as well.
