a must read.....

amazing ideas laid out in a logical, easy to understand format. not a really religious type book (although it is based upon Christian ideals), its more spiritual........ it's a bit wordy (i was saying "i get it, i get it", by 3/4 the way through) but truely some revolutionary thoughts that inspired me in an eye opening way......a must read for anybody questioning their spirituality or looking for more answers.

Peace of mind through forgiveness

All you Catholics and ex-Catholics out there who suffer from overwhelming guilt, read this book. Fr. Jacob shows you how to overcome these feelings. He explains what happens internally and how we exacerbate our guilt and how we can eliminate the harshness of it. He makes God's love for us very clear. I have given this book to other Catholics because it helped me so much and I've heard nothing but good results. Peace can be found with this book by the realization that through the power of non-judgment, which is forgiveness, we are free. Fr. Jacob explains what happens to us and how it can be overcome through finally understanding the teachings of Jesus. He really did show us the way. It's just that we don't "get it".

A message modern Christianity desperately needs to hear

This book is mandatory reading for Christians today. Father Raub fills his book will Biblical citations that all point to the fact that much of Christianity has missed: God never has and never will judge us. To have a true experience of God, to be in touch with the message of Jesus, we must come to see this fact. Our belief in judgement separates us from God, one another, and ourselves. We don't get to heaven by merit, but because of the warmth of a God who is on our side. This book made me rethink my faith and I am better off because of it. Dominic Perri

It held my interest and I couldn't put the book down.

I felt like God loved me for the first time in a long time. He explained the true self and the false self in a way that I could understand. His explanations and examples were easy for someone to understand, and you didn't need a college education to get anything out of it. I want to read it again, it was like getting a love letter from God addressed only to me. To think that God loves me THAT much! I hope he writes another book soon.
