The introduction is a very brief overview, and it kind of sums up for me the reasons I’m so excited to read this book. It tells of lives changed and people healed through the message of freedom God has for us, and the truth of God’s “love, forgiveness, and purposes for your life.”
The more people I talk to about this book, the more I hear “it changed my life.” My friend Penny said, “I wish I had a case of them to give away.” She said the book helped her take an awful past and realize that she was loved anyway—that it was a primary force in getting her past the bad stuff.
I have always believed in God, never doubted His existance or anything, but I really struggle with internalizing the fact that He cares about me. Again, I know it, but I want it to be more than just a head-thing. My sincere hope is that this book will somehow communicate the truth to my heart.
For those of you reading along (with the book or just the blog commentary), what are you hoping to get out of it?
I’m hoping that reading your blog will inspire me to buy the book and read it for myself.
