For some people, sadly the only parts of God and the church they know about are the ones that turn them off, like how people are judged, and how God gets angry. Author Pastor Rick Carrol acknowledges church leaders haven't done the best job of telling the right stories. They've made people think the most important part about God is something other than the love he has for you.
In God's Love is Like ..., Carrol demonstrates that the totality of God's love is so different than anything you've experienced in terms of loving each other. Yet in many ways, how you love others reveals small parts of how he loves you. Carrol shares fun stories and verses in the Bible that show how God loves you like:
an artist;
a patient grandparent;
a kindergarten teacher;
an honorable judge;
an empathetic counselor;
a proud parent;
a broken-hearted love;
a benevolent king;
a jealous spouse; and
an adoptive parent.
God's Love is Like ... creates an understanding of all the ways God really loves you, pulling from examples of your everyday relationships.
