First published by Servant in 1988 as Knowing the Truth of God's Love, and reissued in revised form by Ignatius Press in 2004 as The God Who Loves You. The book reads Scripture as God's love story and argues that divine love is the answer to the deepest human problems and desires. It examines the hard questions about love and contrasts God's love with superficial modern ideas of it.
