Valued Higher Than Gold

Our life is a love story, and God is our pursuer.  This relatively short, easy to read book is small, but it is full of big ideas concerning our worth, importance and value to God.  This volume compares our relationship with God to that of a beloved bride who is cherished by her husband.

Spoken For is written by two women, who give their perspectives and experiences in their respective lives.  Robin has been married many decades, while Alyssa is a newlywed.  They share situations they had in bad relationships, as well as, wonderful ones.  They tell of their experiences with God, and His pursuit of them–and us all.   The two describe how wonderful relationships can be when God is included.

The authors state that bad relationships can cause our self-worth to plummet.  Those negative feelings can live on, even into good relationships with someone else.   Overcoming those negative feelings will make us happier.  That can be done by  understanding that all of us are highly valued; God adores each one of us.  Many scriptures are given that show the deep love, and high regard God has for us all.

I really enjoyed this book, and it is very readable.  There are questions at the end of each chapter that cause you to think more about the subjects covered.  The true stories were very interesting, and brought home the points the authors were making.  Ultimately, we need to get our self-worth from God, and not from those around us.  This book will help the reader understand that God loves us deeply.  He wants to have an awesome love story with each one of us, and be a part of all our relationships.  If anyone has ever felt bad about themselves, or disappointed in a relationship, I recommend they read this five-star book.
