My favorite book on the shelf other than my bible.

This book is the favorite book on my shelf other than my bible. I go to it often as it helps me to embrace the perfect love of our King. I found that I did not gobble it up as I have other books, but rather sipped it like tea savoring the Truths inside. I cannot find it in print anymore, but when I find someone special God would like me to share it with, I order one that is "like new" and send it on to a friend. I highly recommend it!

What a life-changing Bible study!

It is important to have the companion book to this. The study guide is so helpful in applying and making the Scriptures personal. I think all of my life I have been timid about "making God too personal". This book gently leads one into that. It is such a wonderful book on communicating God's love for us and also does a great job on explaining why so many of our struggles are from not understanding God's love (misconceptions). I went out and bought 10 copies of this book for friends/relatives as gifts. Ruth Myers "31 Days of Praise" is also an excellent book--I only use the Bible more (and that book is so full of Scripture anyway to lead us in praise of our Lord--but it also instructs on why praise is so important).

AMEN!

(...)Thisbook is incredible. I use it as a daily devotional. Buy it. You need this book!

Next to the Bible, this is my favorite book

I love books and keep a library of helpful books that are "keepers".. ones that are full of wisdom or say something very well. Out of all the books I have on knowing who God is and how to walk through life with Him, next to the Bible, this is my favorite. I love reading this book, first of all, because Ruth Myers knows God so well. Her admiration, passion, and devotion to Him come across on every page. Secondly, as a woman who was single, then married and a missionary in Asia, then suddenly widowed with children, then lonely and learning to trust God with the stresses of single parenting, and then as a married woman again, Ruth offers practical and loving words as she tells her story that we can all benefit from. Third, Ruth possesses an uncommon wisdom. On every page, there was something that arrested me..something I could keep and use immediately. One thing in particular was the ART of how to handle negative thoughts by A) acknowledging them B)renouncing them and T) thinking the truth with thanksgiving. When I added the third step (which I had never really learned to do before), my life (and my relationship with God) changed to become more confident, more joyful, more filled with awe at His greatness. Another chapter tells it like it is about the kind of love that God gives us, as compared with the best of human love. As a person who has been a believer for more than twenty-five years, I found that she knew and put so well things I have been learning the last ten. The supply of riches and wisdom and help that a person will receive from this book is practically inexhaustible. Although I have not even finished the book yet, I have already given away four copies to my friends! I don't believe I will ever outgrow this book, and I am hoping to also get the study guide. It would also be a wonderful book for discipling others as you read it together and discuss what she says. I am interested in solid, biblical foundations that won't shake or crack and break down under everyday use. Ruth Myers book is a very practical explanation by a very real human about how to put Yeshua's (Jesus') words into practice and build your life on trusting in the One who really is the Perfect Love.
