For decades, I taught people to fear and follow God. In order to balance "feel good" church culture, I rarely spoke about enjoying Him. But I've learned that there's freedom and joy that come only when we have both a deep fear of God and an unshakable assurance of His love. By grace, God brought me from knowing about His love to truly experiencing it, and He keeps drawing me deeper. I pray God uses this book to do the same for you.
About the Book
It is worth reminding ourselves that Paul's prayer wasn't merely about knowing; he prayed for revelation. He wanted us to *experience* God's love — to discover that it's broader than our pain, longer than our doubt, higher than our ambition, and deeper than our shame.
This is the prayer behind every page of this book.
“Paul's prayer wasn't merely about knowing. He prayed for revelation. He wanted us to change into saints whose lives bore the weight of the experience of love.”
— Francis Chan, Beloved
