<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>God's identity cannot be fully expressed in human words, but Scripture uses one particular Hebrew word to describe God's character: <em>hesed</em>. Often translated as <em>lovingkindness</em>, <em>covenant faithfulness</em>, or <em>steadfast love</em>, Michael Card unpacks the many dimensions of hesed, exploring how it is used in the Old Testament to reveal God's character and how its fullness is ultimately embodied in the incarnation of Jesus.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>God's identity is beyond what we could ever fully express in human words. But Scripture uses one particular word to describe the distinctiveness of God's character: the Hebrew word <em>hesed</em>.</strong> Hesed is a concept so rich in meaning that it doesn't translate well into any single English word or phrase. Michael Card unpacks the many dimensions of hesed, often expressed as <em>lovingkindness</em>, <em>covenant faithfulness</em>, or <em>steadfast love</em>. He explores how hesed is used in the Old Testament to reveal God's character and how he relates to his people. Ultimately, the fullness of hesed is embodied in the incarnation of Jesus. As we follow our God of hesed, we ourselves are transformed to live out the way of hesed, marked by compassion, mercy, and faithfulness. Discover what it means to be people of an everlasting love beyond words.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Michael approaches the rich concept of God's hesed love from many different angles. The result is an edifying collection of reflections on the shocking, loyal, and limitless love of God in Christ for us and the world. Read it and you will not only learn but sing hesed!</p>--Jonathan Dodson, lead pastor, City Life Church, author of Here in Spirit<br><br><p>Michael Card brilliantly leads us to discover the heartbeat of hesed, as he gives language to this virtually undefinable word. When he first shared with me his basic definition of hesed--'When the person from which I have a right to expect nothing gives me everything'--I couldn't wait to learn more. I've been completely moved by this book: first, to explore and experience an aspect of God's character I never knew before, and second, to let his hesed inspire me to live hesed every day.</p>--Ginny Owens, singer and songwriter<br><br><p>Michael Card has given his life to joining the wonder of Scripture with careful scholarship. He writes with the touch of an artist, the mind of a scholar, the heart of a pastor, and the reverence of a disciple. This book, focused on the character of a merciful God, is not just a book about words in Scripture--it is a thoughtful, beautiful meditation on the Word Incarnate himself, Jesus Christ. A wonderful book.</p>--Russ Ramsey, pastor, author, Retelling the Story Series<br>
