He Loves Forever
Do you know - really know - how much Cod loves you?
Is the knowledge of God's love for you just another fact stored in your brain? Or, is your understanding of God's love SO predominant in your life that your every perspective / attitude throughout any given day is influenced by it?
The central focus of the Old Testament is God's love. Written in an easy-toread and well-documented style, Dr. Thomas Olhricht has provided us with an inspiring look at the steadfast, immeasurable love God has for His children. He Lives Forever traces the intense love God has for us through....
• Creation
• Blessings through Abraham
• Deliverance in the Exodus
• Protection in the Wilderness
• Promise through the Covenants
• Love through the Law
• Victory in the Conquest
• Inheritance of the Land
• Psalms, Proverbs, and the Prophets
As Dr. Olhricht writes, "the story line of the Old Testament is easier to follow if one is familiar with the basic contours. This book is designed to identify certain foundational affirmations in the Old Testament and to trace the threads, which bind the whole together. We are concerned with the central message of the Old Testament - that the God of the Old Testament is an incessant lover."
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever (Psalm 136:1).

I read this book in preparation for the keynote I am delivering for a conference by the same name in honor of this book. I appreciate what it represents and accomplishes for the time period in which it was written, namely pointing out that the contrast between the angry God of the OT and the loving God of the NT is a false one. God has always been, modeled, and offered hesed, and God continues to freely give hesed. However, this book is also pretty outdated, both in terms of biblical interpretation and theological application, and there are now other resources that explore hesed better.

This book is designed more as a teaching or preaching help about the nature of God in the Old Testament. It is filled with good material, but the writing style is a bit dry.
