I read this book 3 times in the first year after I got it.
I have bought at least 3 dozen to give to others as presents.
Next only to the Bible - the most important book I've ever read.
What this recovering legalist needs to know most and make of greatest import in his life is:
That Jesus loves ME. The Father LOVES me.
Everything else is based on that and flows from that.
A great song that should be the theme song for this book is:
"Just As I Am" by Andrew Peterson - check it out at Amazon downloads.
