God Knows Your Name cover

God really accepts you - six pairs of stories, one biblical and one contemporary, to illustrate this profound and transformative truth

The idea that God is interested in us as individuals is an unfamiliar concept to many, while rejection has become a fact of life. This book encourages the reader to embrace the truth of a personal God; one with whom we do not need to struggle to gain recognition, who intervenes and acts on our behalf. A God who knows our name! Each of the six chapters contains two sections, dealing with situations of rejection. Each tells the story of an individual from the Bible narrative, explaining how God stepped in to change their situation, thus revealing how important they were to Him. The second, connecting story, tells of a present day individual in similar circumstances and how God also positively intervened in their lives. These are true stories, using carefully researched material for authenticity and accuracy. The stories are told with remarkable power and conviction.

"This book reveals God as 'I AM'. Through stories spanning 4000 years God moves from past doctrine to present reality." -- Valerie Murphy, Precept, Northern Ireland
"Catherine is a great storyteller. On a packed, noisy train, I found myself engrossed and deeply moved by a host of vivid, contemporary characters, past and present, who stayed with me long after my journey came to an end" -- Michele Guinness, author of The Heavenly Party
"This is a great book. I highly recommend it, especially for anyone who may be doubting their worth. I couldn't put it down" -- Mark Stibbe, author of I Am Your Father
