Back of the book:
Have you ever wondered, “Does God really love me? Do I really matter to Him?” Rest assured that each and every question you have is of great concern to God. He is not far away or unconcerned. He has not forgotten about you. He is concerned about what’s going on in your life, and He is as close to you as your very next breath. He loves you. As a matter of fact, God loves you just as much as He loves His own Son.
In the pages of this heartwarming, thoughtful, and life-affirming 21-day journey, award-winning gospel singer, songwriter, and teacher Babbie Mason reminds you, when you know you are loved by God and that you are in His eternal plan, you’ll never again wonder if your life matters. You can start off heading in the wrong direction and still end up in the right place because you are embraced by God!

My thoughts:
I should not have been surprised by this book. I have been a fan of Babbie Mason’s singing voice for years. Now I am a fan of Babbie’s writing voice as well. Anyone who has gone through a long season of feeling as if God has forgotten about you will especially like this book. Babbie gently takes you through a journey where you literally wind up remembering that you are embraced by God.
Embraced by God is meant to be read as a 21-day devotional. Since I was reviewing this book I didn’t have the luxury of taking the whole 21 days to read and savor the content, but let me tell you, I was hooked from the beginning. The author has broken the book into seven themes or promises from God. Each promise builds on the one before it assuring you just how much God does love you.
Each day is set up with a personal devotional from Babbie. At the end of each daily reading is a section entitled Embrace Your Day. In this part you are led to think about, read about, pray about and be about His love. It is done in such a manner that you will find yourself lingering on the topic for the rest of your day.
I encourage everyone to pick a copy up and spend the next 21 days growing in the knowledge of God’s love.
