Know and Believe

This Book is for You if:You feel confident of God's love for you, and you want to learn more about it. You once knew the love of God for you, but for reasons you cannot identify, the awareness of His love for you seems a distant memory. You used to daily experience the presence of God, but now He seems far away. You are doing all you think you are supposed to do to please God, but you aren't certain that you do. You've tried all the formulas for getting close to God but instead of getting closer, He seems farther away. You want nothing to do with the religion of Christianity, but you still love Jesus. You feel God has set you aside when it comes to ministry for no reason you can identify. You know that God loves you, but you sense He is disappointed and ashamed of you because you don't meet the "Christian" standards of success in life and ministry. You often wake up or go to bed thinking that God is displeased with you. You've been beaten down in life by overwhelming experiences and by people who should have loved you but didn't. You remember the joy and love you felt the hour you first believed in Jesus, but most of what you've learned since then has, in subtle ways, minimized His love for you. You sometimes find yourself unemotional when the topic of God's love is taught, and you are wondering what is wrong with you. You know people who need to know and believe that God loves them, and you're looking for a book that might help. You are ready to begin a lifetime journey toward rediscovering God's beautiful, astounding, and precious love for you.
