The Naked Gospel finds friends among those who are burned out on experience-chasing, ceremonialism, or legalism.

He Loves Me!: Learning to Live in the Father’s Affection
So many Christians believe God's love is fickle: when they sin, He turns away in disgust and anger. They vacillate between "He loves me" and "He loves me not" because of their behavior.

Rather God's love is sturdy, enduring, and undisturbed by people's failings because God loves humankind not for what they do--but who they are. They are God's beloved creation.
