Because He Loves Me

Thank you, Elyse. The gospel for yesterday but also for today and tomorrow. What you wrote is inspirational, and it overflows with practical application that pushes me to take the gospel into the otherwise private corners of my life. You said in the book, ‘This message will be the only message I’ll ever have from now on.’ If that is the case, I am already in line for the next one.”

Because He Loves Me will provide hope and a desperately needed supply of ‘spiritual oxygen’ to many Christians who have lost sight of what they have and who they are in Christ and are struggling to live a life they can never live apart from him. We can never afford to move ‘past’ the gospel message of the love of God through Christ.

“God has once again gifted Elyse to explain and apply the gospel of Jesus Christ to one’s Christian walk and struggles. She helps the reader see that the gospel is not just for salvation but also vital for the believer’s everyday life. While many books emphasize the gospel message while neglecting its practical implications, Elyse weds the two together like the New Testament epistles do, continually pointing readers to Jesus Christ and their identity in him. Don’t miss out on this uplifting book!”

“Elyse Fitzpatrick reminds us of why the gospel is such good news—even after a lifetime of familiarity with the message. This is a moving exposition of gospel truth, showing how the doctrinal content of our faith is not merely dry, academic stuff but wonderfully personal and practical truth. And the gospel message is not just the foundation of our new life in Christ but the bricks and mortar as well. That simple but crucial truth is all too often missed in the church today.”

“I want to spend the rest of my life helping the church rediscover the greatness of the gospel. Because He Loves Me is a powerful tool for that mission. Elyse writes as someone utterly captivated by Jesus and the beauty of his good news. As you turn these pages, you won’t just learn about the gospel—you’ll feel its weight, its wonder, and its transforming love. Read this book. Let it draw you back to the one who loves you more than you dare imagine and let it help make the gospel great again in your life and in the life of the church.”

“Because He Loves Me is a contemporary Christian classic, reminding readers that the gospel is the indispensable power behind true Christian transformation. My friend Elyse Fitzpatrick skillfully handles the word of God, passionately proclaiming the person and work of Jesus, to help us grasp who we are in Christ so that we might joyfully become more like him. I’m so glad to see this jewel of gospel-centered encouragement refreshed to serve another generation!”

“Many Christian books focus our gaze on the difficult duties of the Christian life, leaving us either triumphant in self-righteous pride or burdened with a backpack full of guilt. Elyse Fitzpatrick shows us how to lay down that burden of guilt at the cross and put to death that self-righteousness, not merely once but daily, as we glory increasingly in the gospel. Here is profound and practical wisdom that will leave you equipped to face life and death with joyful confidence in God’s love for you in Jesus Christ.”

“Elyse Fitzpatrick has given us a helpful, encouraging, and stimulating book that explores the practical impact of God’s great love for his people in every aspect of Christian living. Her rich insights into God’s revealed truth, when understood and applied, will certainly equip and inspire Christians to better fulfill their chief end of glorifying and enjoying him forever!”
