Filled with precise biblical insight, poignant testimonies, profes- sional counsel, and practical exercises, this is indeed a rich read.</p><p>--Ed Piorek, Father Loves You Ministries; speaker; author, Father Loves You and The Central Event</p> <p>Jerry and Denise Basel are living out in a profound way what a growing movement of authors, songwriters, theologians, and everyday people have been daring to express, believe, and try on. It is the Original Good News, aimed at the lies we've been telling ourselves about us. The Basels display with winsome confidence the astonishing love of the Father; which alone allows us to love ourselves honestly, deeply and wonderfully.</p> <p>--John Lynch, Bruce McNicol, and Bill Thrall, bestselling coauthors, The Cure, Bo's Cafe, and The Ascent</p> <p>Finally I have a single, solid book to give clients which can help them get to the real issue under the issues. We all need to know the Father's deep love for us experientially in order to be free to be who he made us to be--able to love and live fully because our hearts are fully convinced we are lovable, worthy, valuable human beings. I heartily recommend this book.</p> <p>--Lorraine Wrage, M.Ed., licensed professional counselor; certified sex therapist</p> <p>I have known Jerry and Denise for the better part of three decades. These two academics-turned-well-trained-counselors know suffering hearts and the heart of God like few others. In The Missing Commandment: Love Yourself, they place emotional and spiritual health on a solid foundation of love--for God, for others, and for self.</p> <p>--Gary W. Moon, MDiv, PhD, executive director, Dallas Willard Center for Christian Spiritual Formation; author, Apprenticeship with Jesus</p> <p>Words can't express the many blessings that this book has provided to me. For anyone who has ever struggled with self-love, read this book! Its words of encouragement and healing are life-changing and life-giving. This book offers beautiful insight into the Father's love for his children and works to dispel the false beliefs that tell us that we have to earn God's love. As another reader said, "Jerry and Denise did a masterful work in helping me to see myself as The Father sees me, to love myself as the Father loves me, to forgive myself as the Father forgives me, and to be gracious to myself as the Father is gracious to me." I whole-heartedly agree!</p> <p>--Amazon.com Reviewer</p> <p>One of the best most helpful book I've read. Love the details on each subject. Love the numerous scripture references. Love how connections are shown and proven. Love the healing and patient examples and personal examples as well. Very well written. Very easy to read & understand and follow. Thank you to the authors for this gift to hearts! I know it has made a huge difference in mine! This book is amazing and life changing. We are about to start a women's weekly study of this book. I feel strong that it will impact many people to the glory of God!!! Once we learn to see ourselves correctly the way God sees us the we can understand his true character and then have the ability to love ours correctly. </p> <p>--Amazon.com Reviewer</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jerry and Denise Basel</b> have codirected The Father's Heart Intensive Christian Counseling Ministry for more than twenty years, counseling individuals and couples worldwide.
