Doug Reed uses important insights from scripture, the historical context of Jesus's day, and personal experience to prove God's fervent passion to give Himself to us. When we understand God's purpose, we begin to see His presence in places we thought He was absent. We come to know God not as one who occasionally visits but as one who abides, always giving His gift, even when we suffer defeat, weakness, and loss. God is a Gift is invaluable for overcoming fear and finding a life filled with God's presence. It reveals how grace revolutionizes our relationship with the Lord. Topics include understanding the New Covenant, living in the gift of righteousness, abundant life, worship, and intimacy with God.
I enjoyed this book and appreciated the historical context that was included. This book challenged me to look at my relationship with God and I learned a great deal from the experience. In addition, the story of Thorncrown chapel is inspiring and uplifting. I am grateful that I picked up this book when visiting the chapel.
This has been one of the BEST books I've read in a long time!! Easy to read! It is filled with so many beautiful things about our Heavenly Father! I highly recommend it!
