Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Simply speaking, love changes people. Christians, then, by definition, should exhibit the greatest transformation of all because, rightly understood and cherished, God's love makes them increasingly more like the One who has lavished his love on them.This truth is meant to tell believers who they are, their purpose and destiny, and how to faithfully persevere in their struggles against all opposition. But sometimes people lose sight of this.Because He Loves Me restores that vision, reminding Christians of their true identity as beloved children of God& adopted by the Father, espoused to the Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.Christianity is not a self-improvement program but a transferring of identity and growth, accomplished in history through Christ and in our daily lives through his Spirit. This book explores and celebrates these truths in an unforgettable way. Study questions and invitations for deeper discovery conclude each chapter. Also order the CD featuring readings from Elyse and new music from Steve and Vicki Cook.

Although I haven't completed this book, being sidetracked by another of ths author's books, I find it an excellent one for a new Christian. I would definitely recommend it for the new believer and for those who just seem to be converted and remain "new."

Many of us struggle with guilt and shame because we don't realize the life-changing implications of the gospel message. Although we understand that we're saved by faith, we still may find ourselves repeatedly trying to earn God's favor by our works. But since sinful man can't win the favor of a holy God by his own works, this dooms us to failure. Elyse's book shows how to break free from this burden, which we were never meant to carry, and step into the light and easy yoke that Christ promised to those who trust in Him (Matthew 11:28-30). I highly recommend it!

This is a well written book that expresses the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a down-to-earth and relevant way. It fosters a greater appreciation and love for the indescribable gift that we have received through the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The author also goes on to illustrate how our relationship with Jesus Christ affects our day-to-day life. She helps us to understand our identity in Christ. She seeks to bring us to a better understanding of what Christ has already done for us and how we can apply these truths as we live each day. This book is full of the Word of God and it is wonderful!

So often, we hear the Christian message and believe only to lose sight of our very first love in the hectic day-to-day world in which we live. This book is a great call back to that love. I am grateful for people like Elyse who pour their lives into serving the church and helping the church to realize its great calling and for each member to live out his or her unique purpose under the guidance and grace of our Lord.
Not only is the book chocked full of superb biblical exegesis, Elyse brings it down to earth with great clarity in her stories and applications drawing often on personal experience. It is divided into two main sections (How God's love transforms our identity and How God's love transforms our life) each of which deals frankly, honestly and truthfully with who we are now versus who we were and calls us to remember and celebrate God's goodness in our lives. Elyse does a masterful job of weaving the great truths and realities of Scripture into the tapestry of our lives in such a way that the reader is both encouraged and spurred on by God's grace.
Although this book is marketed towards women, every person of every age would benefit from a thorough reading and reminiscing of Christ's great love for His bride, the church- of which, if you are a believer, a member and recipient of His great love. I can...Because He Loves Me. And so can you. Thank you, Elyse, for yet another wonderfully practical application of the gospel message to us!

This is the phrase that Elyse Fitzpatrick uses to describe herself as an adopted daughter of the most Holy God and it is a phrase that has helped bring a new love and thankfulness for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how this truth impacts and changes my daily life. I cannot tell you how many times, as I was reading this book, I would speak out loud, "why didn't anyone teach me this?"
I'm 37 years old. I grew up in the church and was "saved" as a child. I attended a Christian college. I have a Masters of Divinity (something I find hard to imagine bestowing on anyone) from a seminary. I worked as a chaplain in an oncology hospital for a little over 8 years and I'm just now starting to get the Gospel. My intent is not to run down the local church or its educational institutions, but the truth is, the doctrines of grace were never shared with me. Many years after seminary, I learned of the rich heritage of the doctrines of grace in my own denomination that sadly have been replaced with works and self-help.
I am married to a wonderful man that I met in seminary. I have a 21 month old daughter and I stay home and do my best to try to take care of them. When I quit work to become a mother, my life in Christ truly began. I went through a year long depression following the birth of my daughter and experienced the "darkness that could be felt." After a horrifying weekend on anti-depressants, I emailed the head of the women's discipleship at our church and she began coming to my home once a week and still does. I had never been discipled before. (This has been more of "church" than anything else I have experienced.) I have theology degrees and ministry experience, but had never been discipled the way Titus 2 commands. This book is priceless. Every woman I know will have a copy. Elyse, thank you for taking the time to write this bedrock book.
