The Intimacy Deficit by Ed Shaw. IVP

Richard Underwood reviews Ed Shaw's The Intimacy Deficit.

It is a deeply insightful and pastorally rich exploration of the relational void that besets many of us today. The sense of disconnection that often manifests in excessive consumption, digital overwhelm, pornography, and mental health struggles.
