Publisher's summary

The key to spiritual and emotional health is to grasp the truth of God's transforming love for us and then let that reality influence our own hearts and relationships. It seems simple, but we are experts at complicating simple things. Instead of living lives characterized by love we find ourselves trapped in cycles of shame, violence, and addiction that steal our joy and keep us from loving others - so much so that, by all indications, Christians are living no differently than anyone else when it comes to abuse rates, use of pornography, alcohol and drug addiction, and more.

Christian psychiatrist Dr. Timothy Jennings wants to release us from this prison. With powerful examples from case studies and from Scripture, Jennings shows believers who are stuck in addiction, violence, fear, and broken relationships how to experience true freedom through God's transforming love to experience greater health, fulfillment, and well-being.

Enlightening!

The most adequate interpretation of God and His love. Works well at disposing fear, enlightening those who seek a true revelation of who God is through Jesus Christ.

Christianity is broken. This lie is why.

Loved this book! It describes a God of love and why we've mistaken him for a God of imposed laws. Reading this book helped me better understand who God is and why some people say they are Christians but seem to have things all wrong. This changed my life and I know it can change yours too. God is love. And scripture teaches that. We've been reading it and hearing about it all wrong.

God's Law

Dr Jennings explanation of the difference between design law and imposed law is brilliant. Every person who identifies as "Christian" needs to hear this message!

One the very best and clearest descriptions of God’s character and the relationship He desires with His children.

Enlightening. A bold new way of looking at Gods use of law and how its been misunderstood in the past. It’s a top 10 book and should be read by everyone and translated into every language.
