This book is music to my soul.
This book shares simple yet profound, life-changing truths for anyone seeking to joyfully live the Christian life. The author clearly identifies what is missing in many Christians’ lives and thoughtfully guides readers toward discovering the missing piece—an intimate love relationship with Jesus—and learning how to incorporate it into their daily walk with Him. I highly recommend this book. It is also an excellent resource for counselors who desire to help others find wholeness and fully embrace God’s love for them. – Teresa

Get ready to feel God’s love like never before.
My love for Lisa Heaton and her books started with Unmending the Veil. God used Lisa to speak directly to my shattered heart as I began to heal from the death of my daughter. Every book written has deeply touched my soul. Fast-forward to YOU. ARE. LOVED. This book…had me in tears (good tears) as I felt the deep and genuine love of God wash over me. My walk and relationship with my FATHER has deepened immeasurably. GOD uses some angels on this earth to do His bidding, and He is using Lisa in life changing ways through her books.

I’ve since been called to be co-leader of our women’s ministry at our church, and I plan to purchase enough of YOU. ARE. LOVED. books so we can use them as our study guide. I almost turned down the position when asked. I am the least qualified to lead any type of Bible ministry. I’m so flawed and damaged. There’s a line in the book that Lisa’s son sent her in a text that says “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called”. I told God “YES” that night, but He’d have to qualify me.  – Karen

Great Bible Study
I have always enjoyed reading Ms. Heaton’s fiction stories, and was excited to see that she had written a nonfiction book. I can honestly say that you won’t be disappointed with her debut, You. Are. Loved. It felt very personal ; almost as if you were sitting down in her living room sharing a pot of coffee while talking about God’s unconditional ❤️.

This book can be read as an encouragement to an individual, but also would be an awesome Bible study. The chapters are easy to follow, Bible verses are clearly referenced, and there is a place for personal reflection. Ms. Heaton has opened her heart to share what God has done in her life, with a strong desire for you to walk in freedom that comes from being a child of a loving Heavenly Father. This book shares the life-changing words of God that you need to hear! Read it, share it, and remember that you are loved by the God of Creation! – Corina

When Lisa felt led by God to start a You. Are. Loved. zoom group in 2020, she had no way of knowing the specific prayer that a certain girl in Texas (me) was praying: God, please show me Your heart. Ironically, You. Are. Loved., Live the Love Song had been sitting on my shelf, but I hadn’t yet read it. I actually felt a little guilty about this. Why had I eagerly devoured every single one of Lisa’s fiction books yet avoided this one? Hindsight is 20/20, so they say, right? Well, I now understand that God would lead me to read it exactly when I was supposed to, when my heart was truly desperate to know His heart, so when Lisa invited her readers to join her in the zoom study, this hungry-for-assurance girl was all in. You wouldn’t have known it by looking at me, but I sure was a fearful been-in-the-church-all-my-life woman, a woman who needed His perfect love to cast out all so many fears (1 John 4:18).

My words cannot begin to express how God has used You. Are. Loved. in my life. God heard my cry and answered my prayers, and through Lisa, the Holy Spirit, and God’s Word, I have learned, really learned, that our God truly does love me. I don’t doubt my salvation or His love for me like I used to; I’m no longer the fear-filled, doubt-filled Christ-follower I was for so many years. I now know I’m loved, and just as Lisa describes, when we know we’re loved, we live our lives differently. Praise God that 1 John 4:16 is now my reality: “We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”

How much has You. Are. Loved. impacted my life? Well, right after I finished Lisa’s original zoom study, I was super excited to facilitate one too (everything is available and free online). You see, I wanted others to experience God’s love as I had. And I love to keep handy and give away copies of You. Are. Loved. Even now, one of my dear friends, an 83-year-old neighbor of mine, is reading it. Although the book is geared toward women, I just knew I was supposed to share it with him, and often when we get together, he’ll open it and begin reading aloud as his eyes fill with tears. I see the change in him already. Being confident of God’s love for us does that.

If you’re reading this, you can be assured that it’s not by coincidence. Just as God pursued me, know that He is pursuing you too, and whatever you are currently experiencing with Him, I promise you, there’s always more. There are no limits to the depths of His love for you. Will you dive in like I did? Will you ask your Father to show you His heart for you? Oh, how He longs to, and He will. You. Are. Loved. – Kim
