About the Book

When the One Who Knows You the Best Loves You the Most

What would your life look like if you were deeply confident of God’s love for you? Do you believe God is love but don’t really feel loved? When your weaknesses are all you can see, God invites you to dive in to His nature and discover His true heart toward you. Be freed to stop striving and to live with courage — energized and satisfied in His love and ready to walk out the joyful gospel.

With powerful stories from his own past and the Bible, author Daniel Hoogteijling uncovers the difference that discovering God’s love for us personally makes in our daily experience of life as a Christian. A wrong picture of God keeps us from relationship and the joys of intimacy with Him. But when we understand what God is like and how He sees us, we find the freedom to grow in God while being loved by Him as we are. This honest, direct, and gracious invitation to trust God’s love will shatter shame and revolutionize your Christian walk. Come find out that the One who knows you the best also loves you the most, and live in that confidence!

We love God because He has first loved us—and the depth of our devotion to Him will always be directly related to how much we genuinely behold His heart for us. In this wonderfully inspiring new book, Daniel invites us to refresh our view of God, and in particular, our perception of how He sees us. Whether a long-time believer or brand new to the Christian faith, these life-giving pages invite us into a deeper encounter with the God who truly delights in His children. —Matt Redman

Staying connected to the love of our Father in heaven is a lifeline and anchor that determines the direction of our life decisions. Daniel’s book, Loved, is a must-read for anyone who needs to ask the question, “Does God really love me?” and get truly connected to the Father. Using his own journey, Daniel helps to uncover the questions we all have that can hinder our connection, and he simply but powerfully declares the truth that can restore us! I highly recommend this book!—Laura Hackett Park

I have known Daniel since he was a teenager. In all the intervening years the pursuit of intimacy with God has been his magnificent obsession. This wonderful book is the fruit of that pursuit. It is full of revelation and insight into the amazing love of God. Reading this will inspire, challenge, comfort, and heal you. —Mike Pilavachi

We have a great God and a great gospel. So much of the time we hide in the shadows of shame and distance. What my friend Daniel has written in this book will shatter that shame by inviting you into the exhilarating nearness of the Father who loves you in spite of your failures, just because you’re His own. —Lou Engle
