To rediscover who God really is-and how deeply and well He loves us. Our own stories and longings are interwoven with a wooing of God to draw us to Himself.

God Himself longs for us, if we are but willing…Įldredge reminds us of God’s invitation to come-and find life and meaning and greater love. The Sacred Romance calls to us in our fondest memories, our greatest loves, our noblest achievements, even our deepest hurts. It is a journey full of intimacy, adventure, beauty, and more than a little danger.
