A Journey of Faith and Discovery

Book Cover & Preview Text
This is the story of how I came to realize, without a shadow of a doubt, that God is love and that He loves me. Such simple statements, but what a profound difference they have made in my life! And what a profound difference they can make in your life as well. When we truly understand who God is, that His very essence is love, and when we open ourselves up and truly accept and receive His unconditional love for us—well, that changes everything.
Many of us grew up in church singing, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so...” But I wonder how many of us really believe this. I mean really. What does God’s love for me look like? What does it feel like? How do I know I have really taken God at His word, believing that He indeed loves me? These are some of the questions that we will explore together in this book.
I share my story here in hopes that many will come to a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ and catch a glimpse of the height, the depth, and the length of His immeasurable love for us. I also hope that my story will help many learn how to daily receive and live in God’s great love.
In this book I will recount moments where my heart was being awakened to the wonderful, loving nature of God, and to my true identity and purpose in Him. I will also recount moments where God and the conscious awareness of His great love for me brought me deep healing, restoration and freedom. Included also are some reflective questions for you, the reader, as well as some correlating Scriptures to ponder on.
The title of this book, In Search of Me, has two different meanings. One meaning is my personal journey to discover who I am and my true purpose; the other is God’s successful attempts to find me and reveal Himself and His purposes to me. The most beautiful part is that I indeed found myself and my purpose in Him and I know He wants you to do the same.
I hope as you read this book God touches your heart in a powerful way. May your feet be firmly rooted and grounded in His love for you, and may your eyes be opened more and more to the beautiful, loving nature of God, your true identity, and to His good and pleasing and perfect will for your life. Much love, Jennie.
