God is not mad at you. God loves you. You may have heard it a thousand times, and it is a common theme in Christianity. But do you believe it? Many of the messages we hear every day – from both society and the church – tell you the exact opposite.
As a result, millions of people from all backgrounds have bought into the idea that God is not only angry but also that He’s angry with them. This belief is damaging countless lives. In Why Is God So Mad at Me? Pat Schatzline sets the record straight, introducing you to a God who accepts us, transforms us, renews us, and gives us a future filled with abundant blessing and opportunity.

Notes
Endorsements
I have crisscrossed the globe for over four exciting decades, ministering to people from every background and walk of life. Pat Schatzline’s book answers a universal question I have heard over and over again throughout the years. Granted, people word it differently, but their hearts ache with the twisted fear that God has failed them, forgotten them, or forsaken them. Pat gives straightforward, biblical and yet compassionate answers to this universal dilemma. He paints a woeful picture of the unending love of God. Many of us have secretly asked Jesus how far we’d have to go to get beyond His love’s reach. As reflected in Pat’s book, the Lord reminds us all that we can’t go far enough to exhaust His love – because if we ever got to the end of His arm, the only thing left for us to do would be to fall into a nail print!

Do you know who your heavenly Father is? The truth is you will never know your true identity and potential until you know your Father God and how much He believes in you. This book will show you who God your Father is and in turn will help you see your own identity in Him. This book had me in tears as I came to a new revelation of God as my Father. No matter where you are in life, you need this book. The majority of us, at one time or another, has asked, “Why is God so mad at me?” Throughout this book Pat shows with brilliant clarity not only who God is but also that He absolutely is not mad at you. What a freeing truth!
