What does God think of you?
When God thinks of you, what expression is on his face? Many Christians conclude we must earn His smile. We implicitly believe God is disappointed by our failures and try everything we know to win his approval. But the more we work for his approval, the farther away from him we feel.
We seek to establish ourselves independently from God, and feel terribly insecure and lonely as a result. There's a reason: We misunderstand the nature of God's love.
In Too Good to be True, Pastor Ricky Jones takes you on his journey to accept God's unconditional love. Using personal stories and biblical references that paint the true picture of grace, Jones shows that being loved by God is not a task to be achieved, but rather the starting point of your own healing and new refreshing, joy-filled life.
Author Biography
Ricky Jones is an epic failure who has continually fallen backwards into grace. He grew up a true redneck in rural West Tennessee and left the woods to attend Vanderbilt University with no idea what he was getting into. While there he met the gospel of grace through Reformed University Fellowship, and his wife Bianca. They planted RiverOaks Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, OK in 2006. He and Bianca have four teenage boys, all of whom are above average. Ricky passionately believes the church should be like Jesus: a place of grace and rest. He also believes no one can thrive alone, and no one should try.
