Product Description

Do you find yourself picking through circumstances like children plucking daisy petals attempting to figure out whether or not God loves you? If you find yourself least certain of his love in those critical moments when you most need to trust him, there is hope for you. Where? At the one event in human history that forever secured your place in the Father s hear--the cross where Jesus allowed sin and shame to be consumed in his own body so that you could freely embrace a relationship with his Father. There you will discover that what he always wanted was not the fearful subservience of slaves, but the loving affection of sons and daughters. If your spiritual life feels more like performance than freedom, like an empty ritual rather than a joyful journey, let Wayne help you discover a Father who loves you more than anyone on this planet ever has or ever will and how you can rest in the confidence of his affection for you through whatever circumstances you face.

Review
"For those of us who are longing to 'live loved,' I cannot recommend a better follow-up to The Shack than this book. 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 )

An encouraging reminder of God's love.
"He Loves Me! Learning to Live in the Father's Affection" by Wayne Jacobsen is a wonderful book designed to combat "Daisy Petal Christianity." It is filled with practical as well as Biblical reminders that God loves us immeasurably. From the cover that reminds us of the childhood game, "He loves me, he loves me not," to the wonderful quotes that begin each chapter, this is an enlightening and insightful read. I can't wait to sit down and savor this book again. There are plenty of group discussion questions at the end of each chapter. There is also a section containing thoughts to ponder and reflect on, yourself. This would be a super group study!

OK, not great
If you are beginning your journey with God, this book can help. Unfortunately, I found it derivative and repetitious. The Search for Significance is 10 times better.

Life Changing!
This is the absolutely BEST book I have ever found on the love of God. It is fresh & refreshing & free from "religiosity". For those who are brand new Christians or those (like me) who have been saved for many years, this book will give you new lenses through which to view God & His love for you. It truly is a blessing.
