As early as Primary, you may have absorbed this confusing message: "God loves us....but He's so disappointed in you".

For a religion that preaches hope, the message of "do more" often seems to win out.

With so many programs, assignments, callings, commandments, standards, and honor codes, how can you keep up?

The adversary highlights the shame you feel when you constantly fall short. Do you feel only heaviness as you consider the Latter-Day Saint path to exaltation? How can God not be disappointed in someone like me?

The gospel was never meant to be exhausting, and God has never been disappointed in you.

God isn't frustrated with you, and He isn't looking to condemn you. Many are trying to gain strength by doing more, but true strength is found in turning to God.

In this book, you'll gain an understanding of the following:

  • God wants your heart, not your behavior
  • Why you need commandments and covenants, when God already offers you so much grace
  • How God's acceptance and love propels you in to a relationship with Him
  • Satan's most powerful tool is shame, and it controls you more that you realize
  • God is strengthening us by revealing our identity

Listen to this audiobook and discover a new relationship with a God who waits to shower you with love and approval. If you're a Latter-Day Saint, it's time for you to experience the hope, power, and redemption the gospel of Jesus Christ offers.

Putting a bit more validation early on - then later a few more example- about teaching correct principles and commandments - at home and at church would give a bit more balance

I liked the examples and stories he shared to illustrate his points. I’m glad the author was the voice for his own book, I think it makes a difference in the delivery of the message.

It was a new perspective for me and very encouraging.

Finished the book this morning. Great insights and much-needed perspective shifts are presented in a relatable and digestible manner. Nice work, Kurt Francom! I loved the relatable examples of God’s love for His children and with tear-filled eyes, I felt God’s love for me as an individual in ways that I never have before. Thank you for this inspiring work. God speed.

Loved his personal insights and examples. His depiction of Heavenly Father is more inline with my current beliefs. He does a better job than most LDS teachers on reconciling grace and works.

Great Testimony of God’s Unconditional Love

I read half of 'Is God Disappointed in Me?' by Kurt Francum in paperback and the other half on Audible. The Audible version is well-narrated once past the “Forward” and includes a delightful bonus audio clip of his little girl towards the end, adding a personal touch that brings the author's messages even closer to home. This book is an accessible, short, and easy read, reminiscent of 'The Restoration' by Patrick Mason, making it a work that everyone should and can read.

In 'Is God Disappointed in Me?', the depth of insight into faith, grace, and God's love profoundly resonated with me, echoing sentiments I've long felt but struggled to express. Francum, through his book, has a remarkable gift for giving voice to complex emotional and spiritual dilemmas, articulating thoughts and feelings that many of us grapple with yet find difficult to articulate. His exploration into themes like the misinterpretation of divine disappointment, the significance of approaching scripture with love, and the emphasis on understanding God's character through a lens of compassion, rather than judgment, speaks volumes to readers seeking a deeper connection with their spirituality.

What makes Francum's work stand out is his ability to challenge readers to think beyond their current understanding without demanding conformity to his viewpoints. The book is filled with moments that prompted me to reflect deeply, consider different perspectives, and engage with ideas that I'm still pondering over. While not every concept aligned perfectly with my beliefs, the majority resonated strongly, offering new layers of understanding to my faith journey.

Moreover, Francum's insights into parenting with grace and tackling the misconception that shame should be a component of our spiritual life were particularly impactful. This book is more than just a theological discourse; it's a guide to finding self-love through God's unconditional love, challenging yet comforting, and always enlightening.

Overall, 'Is God Disappointed in Me?' is a compelling read that not only provides clarity and comfort but also encourages profound reflection and open-hearted dialogue with our beliefs. Francum's ability to articulate deeply felt but often unspoken thoughts is truly remarkable, making this book a must-read for those navigating their spiritual path.

Beautiful & inspiringly helpful easy and quick must read for anyone & everyone!

I enjoyed and loved this book so much I bought 8 copies and will buy more so I always have one to give. The message of reducing shame and living mercy and grace was one I needed to hear years ago. I am trying to embrace it now and become more.

This is one of the best books that I have ever listen to. I feel like Kurt really understands God's perspective of us and it helps me to understand how he sees me as well. I purchased 6 paperback copies of this to give to people I know that struggle with their relationship with God because I know this book wiill help significantly.

Amazing Book!
