"An excellent book! Very easy to read and gave many practical tips. It really made me think of how tall and wide the Father's love for us is. Full of personal stories to illustrate the point. Highly recommend this book to everyone (read Isaiah 43 too!)"

— Emmeline, 6/21/2013" I heartily recommend this book. It was instrumental in empowering me to get out of a destructive relationship; helped me to internalize God's love for me more deeply. "
— Lisa, 6/8/2013" Well presented book about God's love, with interesting anecdotes and examples. Not quite up to Philip Yancey or Brennan Manning on similar topics, but still thought-provoking and very readable. Recommended. "
— Sue, 11/10/2012" Underwhelming. Lots of anecdotes but lacking in substance. "
— Alexis, 11/30/2011" if you are passionate about sharing God's love this is an amazing book. "
— Ruth, 12/5/2010" I really enjoyed some of Ortbergs others work, but God just didn't speak to me through this. "
