We all know John 3:16 - about God's love for mankind that He gave His one and only Son to die on the cross for our sins so that anyone who believes in Him might have everlasting life. Relentless Love by Thom Gardner is all about the love, mercy, grace and kindness that God has shown to us, mankind. Everyone who reads this book will came to know God who despite our fallen/ sinful nature still pursues us relentlessly. I love that.
The book, Relentless Love, has been broken down into 3 parts. The first part, Mercy: The Passion of God introduces readers to the relentless love that God has towards us. Understanding the kind of love that God has for us will transform our lives in the way we see ourselves and treat others. God invites us to his presence and he longs for us to be in his presence just like Moses was.
The Second Part is Mercy: The Present Love of God: - God calls us to be intimate with Him. To have fellowship and think of him only. God could have easily ordered the animals and other non-human creation to have fellowship with him but he chose us mankind because we are special or as the author puts it 'we took his breath away'. It is because of God's mercy that we are not consumed and every believer who wants to can have an intimate fellowship with the Creator.
The third and final part is Mercy: The Glory of God: This chapter begins with the story of Moses when he asked God to show him His glory. I have always wondered what Moses meant when he said that. Did he want a sign, a miraculous one? From the rest of the chapters I got to understand what Moses really meant when he asked God to reveal his Glory to him.
Moses longed to have a face-to-face walk with God and that is what he got. The bible tells us to ''Call unto me and I will show you great and unsearchable things you do not know'. By walking in the glory or presence of God, Moses was able to share in the secrets of God like no other person had ever done.
I like how the author, in every chapter, provides real life examples that we can relate to.

Now and then we have the privilege of reading a book that penetrates our soul and changes our thinking. Relentless Love was that kind of book for me. Mercy is no longer a theological concept to me; it has become something more tangible and alive, indeed the very essence of our loving Father.
Familiar Bible stories and passages have taken on even deeper meaning as Thom Gardner has taken me to a new level of understanding the heart of God. He challenges us to let this mercy flow both into and out from us.
There is a lot of meat in this book and each chapter ends with suggestions for meditation and journaling to help internalize the teachings.
