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 )
Book Description
So many Christians believe God's love is fickle: when they sin, He turns away in disgust and anger. They vacillate between "He loves me" and "He loves me not" because of their behavior. That reasoning, writes Wayne Jacobsen, is as flawed as pulling petals from a daisy. Rather God's love is sturdy, enduring, and undisturbed by people's failings because God loves humankind not for what they do--but who they are. They are God's beloved creation.
Startlingly honest and empathetically written, HE LOVES ME! reveals the facts of God's relentless grace. Readers will learn how to live consciously, confidently in this love all the time. Questions for personal reflection and group discussion help make these truths practical and life-changing. Insecure Christians ready for a revolutionary relationship with God will find out just how accessible that is.

Do Yourself a Favor and Read This Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: He Loves Me (Paperback)
Excellent insight. A logical, biblical foundation for a new framework for understanding God's intended relationship with His children. Love, rather than fear. Even if you don't consider your relationship with God to be based on fear or "appeasement" (I didn't either), this book will challenge you to reassess many of the traditions and approaches that dominate many in the Evangelical Christian Church. However, the book is not written from a critical point of view. A freeing book. Approach with an open mind. This book is having a strong, positive impact on my life. I have recommended it highly to several friends.

Excellent in Every Way,
By
This review is from: He Loves Me!: Learning to Live in the Father's Affection (Paperback)
Wayne Jacobsen came to my attention through his relationship with William P. Young, the author of "The Shack." Wayne has been writing for some time and has had impact in different circles through different ministry roles and previously through an editorial relationship with Leadership magazine.I'm sorry it has taken this long for him to come to my attention. Through the influence of "The Shack" and another book that Wayne co-wrote, "So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore?", Wayne has had a profound influence in my thinking and views toward God and the Church. More importantly, in this book, Wayne does an excellent job of demonstrating the roots of those previous works in Scripture and practical theology in terms of the person of God and how He wants to relate to us. Christianity is rife with lip service as to the importance of Grace in underlying the foundation of a personal walk with God. In practice however, many Churches and Christians of all ilks and persuasions quickly move past that lip service into forms of legalism and phariseeism that make it clear that if Grace is the foundation of the beginning of a walk with Christ, it certainly has little to do with what comes after. Guilt, shame, manipulation and coercion quickly raise their heads and become the motivator for far too many of us. William Young, the author of "The Shack" recommends this book on the back cover as the best book he can suggest for those who have read "The Shack" to help everything begin to make sense. I can recommend no better than that myself. This is a deeply freeing book to read, to grasp but more importantly to begin to live the concepts present. I highly recommend it and will return to it myself many times. 5 stars. Bart Breen

An Amazing Book about God's Amazing Grace,
By
This review is from: He Loves Me!: Learning to Live in the Father's Affection (Paperback)
I wished I had written this book.For the last several years, I have been on a journey of discovering the love of God as my heavenly Parent after 20+ years of traditional teachings from a traditional evangelical denomination. Mostly on my own, I embarked on a journey that has helped me discover more and more of the unfathomable love of God as our Father in heaven. After reading this book, I realize that the author has been on a similar journey, making similar discoveries. It was gratifying to see the author explaining how much God is our Parent and not our Judge. The author could have dealt a bit more with why Jesus has to die on the cross. It is a difficult subject but I would have loved to see his view.
