Embracing the Love God Wants You to Have: A Life of Peace, Joy, and Victory

In this loving, insightful guide that captures the spirit of T. D. Jakes, Taffi Dollar, renowned pastor of the World Changers Church International, speaker, and author, teaches every woman how to bolster her most pivotal relationship: The one she has with herself.

Pastor Taffi Dollar invites us into an intimate conversation as a pastor, wife, mother, sister, and friend, exploring the topic that’s closest to the hearts of every woman: relationships.

So much of a woman’s happiness hinges upon the quality of her bonds with others. But many women struggle in striking that all-important balance between giving and receiving love. In their determination to give to others, women often ignore their own need for self-sustenance. Neglecting their own foundation leaves them ill prepared to be in healthy, loving relationships with spouses, children, families, communities, and even God, Taffi reveals.

With wry humor and clear-eyed insights, Taffi introduces women to timeless values and applies them in ways that are real and relevant. She offers words to live and love by, and a path towards healthy relationships that enhance rather than deplete us. Interweaving anecdotes and the personal stories and experiences of people she meets each day, she shows women how to reconnect with themselves and find the fulfillment they seek.

In a world of nonstop digital communication, it can be hard to hear the voice of God. What fans of Pastor Taffi Dollar already know—and what you will soon discover—is that we are never far away from His Grace. Embracing the Love God Wants You to Have is a powerful and practical guide to transforming our lives by nurturing our relationship with God first, then ourselves, and then others.

In this treasured read, Taffi Dollar enlightens us on why it's not selfish to love ourselves because God loves us first, and always will. She teaches that it's normal to make mistakes, endure disappointments, and experience heartbreak. But through it all we can embrace God's love by the power of His Word. Drawing from her own life and marriage as well as from the wisdom she derives from ministering to hundreds of thousands of women, she counsels with warmth and compassion, offering solutions, suggestions, and the reminder that God's love is an ever-present wellspring of second, third, and fourth chances.

Love is the most powerful gift we can give and the most enduring gift we will ever receive. Embracing the Love God Wants You to Have reminds us that our relationship with God is a love story, one that begins with opening our hearts and then sharing all of our light and love with the world.
