No matter what you’ve ever done, God loves you and wants to spend forever with you.

God Gets You reminds Christians that they will get to heaven despite their numerous sins and the countless ways they fall short of God’s best for them — a reality that Church leaders seldom emphasize. They’re more likely to make disconcerting comments like: “Christians aren’t sinless but should sin less.”

The danger, author Mike Murray argues, is that Christians can easily fall into performance or legalistic traps. Mike says that it’s not like God awakens each of us in the morning with custom scoreboards that display how we rate in His eyes. Christianity isn’t about counting sins. It’s about redemption, dying to yourself daily and a lifestyle of repentance based on your relationship with God, established the very moment that you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

With compassion and sensitivity, Mike encourages Christians to grow in our faith and walk with God while being thankful that God pursues, rescues and understands us. Packed with hundreds of commentaries, inspiring stories, Bible verses, prayers, videos, songs and many other resources, God Gets You:

• Features a comprehensive spiritual growth chart that serves as a guide, not a set of God-given requirements
• Celebrates the power of the Holy Spirit who one night filled a new high school graduate with intense joy after he endured a hellish round of insults at a late-night teen party
• Explains why a formerly mean-spirited business executive decided to start introducing herself to workers as Kathy and not Kathleen
• Details the gratitude one man feels daily after he fell off a roof and became paralyzed for life — an accident that closed the door on his rebellion and led him to the arms of God
• Showcases the small gestures and extremes that a community went to for a lonely, frightened and financially devastated family after a friend dropped them off at rental home in Cleveland, Ohio (one member faced a triple organ transplant)

For nearly 30 years, Mike Murray has taught the Bible, discipled men, facilitated spiritual retreats, served in a hospice home, mentored youth without fathers and supported social justice organizations. Mike earned a journalism degree in 1986 at Kent State University and worked in newspapers before becoming an online marketing executive. He speaks frequently at national conferences in his field. Mike and his family live in northeast Ohio.
