Loved

Publisher Description

'How desperately we all need to know, deep within, that we are loved by God ... It is a chaotic age and I find my soul longing more and more for the shelter of God's love and the anchorage of his word.' Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer 'You are loved ... This is the most important thing about you. It is the answer to the deepest longing of your heart and has the potential to change your whole life in every possible way.' You are loved. A deceptively simple phrase. But what does it really mean to be loved ... loved by God? And can we really know it, begin to comprehend it? And what difference does it really make to our lives? With warmth, wit and a great depth of wisdom, Jonny Gumbel explores the nature and meaning of this divine love. Drawing on the Apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans, this book is peppered with stories that are marked by the author's self-deprecating humour, encompassing everything from politics to family life and each illustration is packed with insight. Coming at a time when many of us feel battered and bruised by the uncertainties of life, this compelling book brims with affirmation and hope as it invites us to delve into (or perhaps rediscover) the greatest love story ever told ... 'What a wonderful book! Glorious and timeless truths told in a fresh and engaging way, brilliant insights ... that cause the magnificent reality of God's love to come alive. This book will both renew your mind and cause your heart to sing.' Mike Pilavachi, MBE, Soul Survivor Watford
