In this book she helps those who haven't truly received God's love because they are afraid of his anger and disapproval.

Building on such biblical passages as Exodus 34:6-7, which portray the compassionate, merciful nature of God, he projects the image of a God intimately concerned with human beings.

Job in the Old Testament experienced something completely different from Paul in the New Testament, Socrates chased a mercurial spirit almost unrecognizable to the strange voice that called to Rumi, and Shankara moved from town to town sharing the truth about a God that stood in marked contrast to the one that guided Anne Hutchinson—yet one sees an undeniable pattern.
