The Ladder of Love: A Pathway to Emotional Healing and Spiritual Intimacy with Jesus (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781400259908)

Bestselling author Stasi Eldredge guides women into deeper intimacy with Jesus through a biblical progression of relationship--clay, sheep, servant, child, sibling, friend, bride--inviting them into healing, discovery, and the joy of being deeply loved by God.

Many women long for a deeper, more experiential relationship with Jesus. They go to church, read their Bible, and pray yet still feel like they know God more in their heads than in their hearts. Shouldn't there be more?

In her new book, New York Times bestselling author Stasi Eldredge reveals that Scripture offers a beautiful, intentional progression of intimacy with God. These familiar metaphors--clay, sheep, servant, child, sibling, friend, bride--aren't random images. They're rungs on a spiritual ladder that leads us closer to God's heart. As we understand them, we begin to understand how He invites us to relate to Him. With her signature warmth, biblical depth, and guided prayers, Stasi helps readers

• address the heartaches that keep them from drawing closer to God and remove the roadblocks that prevent healing,
• learn to take prayerful pauses that allow Christ to minister directly to their deepest needs,
• recognize the difference between knowing about God and experiencing Him personally,
• identify where they have "learned God wrong" and gently step into learning Him rightly, and
• discover how spiritual disciplines guide them on the journey of drawing near.

For every woman desiring closeness with Jesus or longing to rediscover it, this book offers a path of healing, transformation, and the breathtaking joy of truly knowing God and being deeply loved by Him.
