So many Christians believe God's love is fickle: when they sin, He turns away in disgust and anger. They vacillate between "He loves me" and "He loves me not" because of their behavior. That reasoning, writes Wayne Jacobsen, is as flawed as pulling petals from a daisy. Rather God's love is sturdy, enduring, and undisturbed by people's failings because God loves humankind not for what they do—but who they are. They are God's beloved creation. Startlingly honest and empathetically written, HE LOVES ME reveals the facts of God's relentless grace. Readers will learn how to live consciously, confidently in this love all the time. Questions for personal reflection and group discussion help make these truths practical and life-changing. Insecure Christians ready for a revolutionary relationship with God will find out just how accessible that is.
“"Understanding God's love requires not a classroom lecture but a long bath. In 'He Loves Me, ' Wayne Jacobsen fills the tub and invites us to soak in real life, the inner life of the Trinity. 'What Really Happened on the Cross' is worth reading five or six times, then sinking quietly and deeply into its life-giving water." Dr. Larry Crabb, author of The Papa Prayer, SoulTalk, and Shattered Dreams.”
'For those of us who are longing to "live loved", I cannot recommend a better follow-up to THE SHACK than HE LOVES ME. It is an exploration and adventure into the heart of the God we hoped was truly there, and who loves each of us in particular with an everlasting love.' -- Wm Paul Young, Author of THE SHACK
