"Love Beyond Reason" is well written and with some very clear thought processes Ortberg puts across the point that though we are 'rag dolls' he has many reasons to love us for all we are and will be.
Ortberg paints a picture very well, he is a story teller. He weaves in Bible passages and illustrations from day-to-day things to help us to explore a God who loves us in the midst of our humanness. He is an encourager, allowing you to discover a loving God for yourself and to enjoy the dicovery with him.
Ultimately we see the love of God in the cross, and to be content and feeling safe in that love, not hiding away or moaning.
I think the last chapter ended quite abruptly, but on a great note about God's glory. God definitely had his hand in me reading this book, our theme this christmas is glory, i'm talking about Love soon and Zaccheaus' story popped up twice in one day. Lots to reflect and contemplate on.
