You are not what you do for God. You are not even what you feel about God. You are who Love says you are, and that was settled before you ever tried to earn it.

In Restoring First Love, Mike Parsons takes you back to the question that underlies every other question: who are you? Drawing on the Hebrew marriage journey, the ancient paths of wisdom, and his own passage through the dark cloud, Mike unpacks what it means to rest, not as a technique to master, but as an identity to inhabit. This is not a call to try harder at first love. It is an invitation to recover what was never actually lost, your place as a son or daughter held in union with the Father, Son and Spirit, from before the beginning.

Honest about the seasons that did not make sense at the time, and clear-eyed about the truth of God's nature behind them, this book will take you further into rest than striving ever could.
