Book Description
G. K. Chesterton advised, "Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair." Remarkably, God loves you with a passionate, crazy love and craves your love in return. Throughout your sojourn on earth, God entices you in various ways, pursues you, and even demands your love! God created you for love, and your final destiny is everlasting union with this divine Lover.Human beings exhibit certain characteristics toward a person they deeply love, for example, constantly thinking of the beloved and delighting in being together. When you are involved in an intimate relationship with God, these same characteristics hold true for both God and you. In "A Love Affair with God," twelve of these traits are explained. Each chapter presents how God shows one of these traits toward you and how you reciprocate likewise if you are in love with God. This last section is a goldmine of practical ways to express love for God. Scripture verses, quotations, stories, and examples are woven through the material. Questions for reflection are included.Reading this book promises to make you more aware of the immense love God has for you and to stir you to love God back with all your heart. This unique love affair is for time and for eternity. It makes life worth living.

Book Description
Guilt is a major problem in the world today, even among Christians. Much guilt is the result of a misunderstanding of God's true character of love. In this world, we come to expect punishment when we do wrong things. In order to avoid punishment and guilt from unacceptable behavior, many people will lie, excuse, deny, and fall victim to depression. This book reveals to those bearing a heavy burden of guilt a loving Savior who knew the fallen condition of mankind before He came to this earth to lay down His life as aransom for guilty sinners. If we view the law of God simply as a set of rules that, if broken, will condemn us in the judgment, we easily fall into a form of guilt that can leave us devastated. This book presents the law of God in a light that draws the guilty to a God who loves sinners so much that He gave us the Ten Commandments, not as something restrictive, but as wedding vows between Himself and His bride-the church. We can only remain on a continuous guilt trip if we do not understand thatChrist has already taken our sins and guilt upon Himself when He died on the cross. The penalty for our sins has been exhausted by His death, burial, and resurrection. God does not treat weak, erring sinners as they deserve, but with a grace that is greater than all our sins."

Book Description
If you're feeling lost, disconnected, or longing for something more, join bestselling authors John Eldredge and Brent Curtis as they explore the greatest love of our lives: our faith. The Sacred Romance invites us to find the peace and purpose we crave by slowing down, asking questions, and deepening our relationship with God. Eldredge and Curtis believe that modern Christians have lost touch with our hearts. We've left that essential part of ourselves behind in the pursuit of efficiency, success, and the busyness of our lives. The Sacred Romance will guide you through a journey to getting to know yourself and your creator even better, asking you: What is this restlessness and emptiness I feel, sometimes after years into my Christian journey? How will my spiritual life touch the rest of my life? What is it that is set so deeply in my heart, that simply will not leave me alone? When did I stop listening to God’s leading? The Sacred Romance is a journey of the heart. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, and beauty, that will guide you to your fondest memories, your greatest loves, your noblest achievements, and even your deepest hurts--but the reward is worth the risk.

Book Description
A searing literary memoir of a disconnected childhood, a multigenerational upbringing and incest— from the daughter of legendary jazz pianist Stan Kenton Leslie Kenton was the only child of Violet, a stunning Hitchcock blonde, and the legendary jazz giant Stan Kenton. The story takes place on the road in 1950s America and in the mania of Hollywood—a world of jazz clubs, dance halls and onenighters, where lives were lived on a razor's edge. Love Affair takes us beyond the bright lights and glamour into an intense, claustrophobic world of a father and the only child of his troubled marriage. As Stanley grapples with alcohol and his personal demons, gradually his actions threaten to destroy the only real, untainted thing in his life: Leslie. A true story of obsession, tragedy and grace, Love Affair is Leslie Kenton's powerful memoir. At its heart is the complex, ultimately incestuous, relationship with her father–a union so powerful it defines all that came after. As their lives become increasingly entangled, so do the forces of darkness and light that exist within us all, leading to destruction for him and heartbreaking redemption for her. There have been memoirs about incest before, but Love Affair is a surprisingly moving and elegant treatment of a young life, shared passion, and boundaries crossed.
