God loves
you first.
1 John 4:19
When we dare to trust Jesus with our whole heart and our whole story, we unleash the full redemptive power of the gospel in our lives.
When God Loves You First
Only through courageously and vulnerably facing our life stories of trauma, grief, and loss can we find lasting freedom and experience the redemptive and transformative power of the love of God.

God used this book in my life, and I found it very encouraging. It has made me think much about who God is and who I am and how all that fits together. The stories give me hope to keep seeking Him in my own broken areas of my life and in others.

This book is so well written and the author has managed to take what I have felt and thought and has put it into words that I could never come up with myself. It’s an easy read that makes you feel refreshed and not alone in your journey! My cup feels full and I have greater understanding of God’s love for me. A must read!

I LOVE this book. I have read many books about God in my life but none has felt so authentic, challenging and inspiring. Life is not easy and I have found myself wondering, where is God in all these challenging spaces? Miss Carruther’s book has taken me on a journey that has called me to keep my heart and eyes wide open for God’s love and mercy in all the spaces... the beautiful, ordinary and especially the brokenhearted ones. I will tell my friends about this book and plan to read it again.

We love.
because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19
In this season, when we feel the weight of broken relationships, pain from past sin, and a deep longing for peace that transcends the commercialized plastic packaging full of empty promises and fleeting joy, this is not the moment to condemn our hearts for desperately wanting more.
