For the first time I read it with my wife back in 2013. I cannot overstate how fundamental its concepts are in regard to defining value and finding one's genuine identity. The realization and application of its core ideas made me rearrange my whole life for the better, making decisions for it which could be considered foolish by side watcher yet, in reality, putting it on a firm basis whereupon I could build for my satisfaction its most beautiful building as it was originally designed by my Maker.
For me, this book was the blessed ushering into a realm of complete freedom from sin, vanity and selfishness through the plain confirmation of my sonship to God through His Beloved Son.
This brief booklet, yet so aptly named clearly demonstrates His wisdom in the manifestation of the relationships He has ordained. The author thoughtfully delineates the history of love and lies – played out over the ages. Contrasting the divine relationships ordained in everlasting love and submission, with the tyrannical and selfish relationships we readily accept as ‘godly’ today. This short read is an excellent expose on the two opposing views, and allows the reader to clearly see why the deception has been developed, and how it has lead the world away into darkness - preventing humanity from embracing the true relationship with our Heavenly Father and His Son. Such a blessing to see the light in brighter glory!
