5.0 out of 5 starsFrom Head to Heart
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2017
This book changed my life. I have always intellectually understood that God unconditionally loves us, but my feelings never truly aligned with that belief. Anytime that I really thought about it, I would have a tinge of disbelief, even when nodding in agreement. The awesome thing about this book is that if you take your time, read it and, practice each spiritual practice, you will feel God's love, and your belief will move from your head, to your heart.

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019
This one-star review is NOT based on the content of the book. It is based on the product itself - there is no text printed on the pages before page 33.

This is written from a fundamentalist perspective. It wasn’t what I expected.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lacks depth
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2008
This book starts out with a wonderful premise, that of God's unconditional love. But it fails to develop as it repeats the same premise over and over and over. The author never goes beyond this concept...except to tell us what not to do. The book leaves me wondering how to accomplish this surrender, other than to do nothing, which is what the author advocates. I think the book may speak more to those who have been significantly wounded by people who should have been examples of love, as those are all the examples the author uses. So if you have not been significantly wounded, you may, like I, wonder why it takes him 100 pages to get the idea across that God's love is unending, unconditional, and freely given to all, and we should live that love as children of God.

2.0 out of 5 stars And what about suffering...?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
I can't believe that Benner has almost totally sidestepped the issue of suffering in a book about God's love. It's all very well finding inspiration in the story of the Prodigal Son: but where is God's love in the vast sea of unprovoked and undeserved suffering that people all over the world face every day? Any notion of a loving deity is hard to hold onto when facing the death of a child; or a terrorist attack that brings down innocent victims; or... or....

Without any acknowledgement of the huge, massive issue of human suffering, this book is, for me, pretty darn useless.
