Secrets of Divine Love
The #1 international bestselling book, Secrets of Divine Love, was written for those with a longing heart—those searching for something they have not yet found, or who feel too imperfect for a perfect God to love. It is for those who have experienced religion as a harsh winter rather than the life-giving spring God intended. This book is for anyone at the edge of their faith, seeking warmth and understanding.
