Relentless Love: Unfolding God's Passion, Presence, & Glory

by Thom Gardner

Overview

The Lord is abundant in mercy to all who call upon Him. Jesus was mercy-in-person when He walked on the earth. But how can mercy be like honeysuckle? Just as honeysuckle vines overcome fences, God’s mercy has the power to grow relentlessly in our hearts, conquering all kinds of obstacles that result from our wounded human relationships and limited human reason.  As you read and reflect on the scriptural revelations, you’ll discover the life-changing truth that mercy is the Passion, the Presence, and the Glory of God. “Turning Points” at the end of each chapter will guide you through prayer and journaling to help you feel the passion, experience the presence, and see the glory of God as you comprehend God’s Relentless Love for you. Ultimately, as you receive His mercy you will be empowered to show mercy to those around you – even those who’ve wounded you.
