Not Forsaken

by Louie Giglio

Finding Freedom as Sons & Daughters of a Perfect Father

In Not Forsaken, Giglio guides readers to the breakthrough possibility of a relationship of perfect father to child can be yours when you follow God through Jesus Christ. Regardless of life’s circumstances, God can become your perfect Father.

Overview

This book is for everyone who has a father.

And for all those who know what it’s like to long for a father’s blessing: his approval, affection and attention. It’s for anyone who’s ever longed to hear your dad say, “I love you. I’m so proud of you.”

You may already know what it’s like to live in the rays of such a blessing, to flourish in the marvelous light of a father’s love. Yet, in this “fatherless generation,” it’s also likely you’ve never known the blessing of your earthly dad. The possibility of hearing the words, “I love you, I’m proud of you,” may be gone—washed away by your dad’s death or distance or divorce or disinterest. Your father’s blessing may be mired in a pit of regret, pain or abandonment.

But here’s the good news— regardless of how amazing or absent, invested or disinterested, empowering or deflating your earthly father was or is — you do have a perfect Father.

We see all throughout Scripture that God wants us to know Him as Father and wants us to live under the waterfall of His blessing.

In Not Forsaken, Pastor Louie Giglio invites us to reframe our view of fatherhood, by understanding that God is not simply the bigger version of our earthly dads, He is the perfect version of our earthly dads. And, He’s inviting us to walk in freedom as loved sons and daughters of the King.

God is not the reflection of your earthly father; He is the perfection of your earthly father.

    Dave Ramsey, Bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host

Knowing that I am a beloved daughter of a perfect Father literally changed my life years ago and it’s what I count on every day as a professional athlete. Louie’s Not Forsaken connects with each one of us as he so clearly points us back to our perfect Father. Open your heart and dive into Not Forsaken . . . you won’t be the same!”

    Maya Moore, Four-time WNBA Champion, Two-time Olympic gold medalist, WNBA All-Star and all-time leading scorer

  • “Some communicators speak to the heart. Others speak to the head. A choice few are able to speak to both. My friend Louie Giglio is one of these. He is both pastor and teacher. He certainly has pastored and taught me. His new book Not Forsaken addresses a deep need. May God use it to heal and help us all.”

    Max Lucado, Pastor and New York Times bestselling author

  • “It’s been said that what comes to mind when you think of God is the most important thing about you. In Not Forsaken, my friend, Pastor Louie Giglio brilliantly and beautifully helps us form a freeing, scriptural image of God. Don’t put this important and timely resource down.”

    David Crowder, Grammy-nominated artist, musician, and author

    Levi Lusko, Pastor of Fresh Life Church and author

  • “It’s all too easy to under-recognize, under-celebrate, and under-utilize some of the wonderful blessings we have as Christians. The amazing privilege that we get to call God ‘Father’ is likely toward the top of the list. Louie’s brilliant teaching in Not Forsaken is therefore such an important one—reminding us who we are as children of God, and reorienting us in our relationship with Him. This wonderful book is a celebration of the Father heart of God, and of the life-changing identity we have as His sons and daughters. You’ll love it!”

    Matt Redman, Global worship leader, Grammy-winning songwriter, and author
