Most Christians can recite John 3:16: "God so loved the world." but many doubt that God truly loves them. We all think of caveats for God's love, struggle to pray, or fail to experience God's acceptance. Doubting God's love deprives us of what God freely gives: adoption into God's family. I wrote this book for myself. I run away from God's love. It's something I'm ashamed of and something that I needed to understand. I needed to crack my defenses and blinders.

I hope that my fellow runaways will start asking what keeps them from God so they can stop running and find the perfect rest of God.
