The Seven Levels of Intimacy: The Art of Loving and the Joy of Being Loved - Matthew's upcoming release from Simon and Schuster!

Matthew's newest book, The Seven Levels of Intimacy: The Art of Loving and the Joy of Being Loved, is to be released in late 2005 from Simon & Schuster. The success of The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion & Purpose is a New York Times Bestseller and we are praying for The Seven Levels of Intimacy to be just as inspiring to you as well as your circle of influence.

Intimacy is one thing that the human person cannot live happily without. We yearn for it and yet we are desperately afraid of it. Why? Because somewhere deep inside we all fear that if people really knew who we were, they wouldn't love us.

The Seven Levels of Intimacy are a journey to the depths of who you really are, and if you are brave enough to share that journey with someone you love, it will be he most extraordinary adventure of their lives.

Carefree timelessness and intimacy are best friends. Our relationships cannot thrive under pressures of our noisy, busy, fast, modern lifestyles, but every relationship blossoms when it is nourished with a little carefree timelessness.

Life is about love. It is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you love yourself and how you hurt yourself. It's about how you love and hurt those close to you. It is about how you love or hurt the strangers that pass through your life. Life is about love.
