Book Cover & Preview Text
Many times, I thought that if I loved someone with all of my heart that they would automatically love me back. I found out from experience that the measure of love that I have for someone else is not always an accurate indicator of their love for me. Many times, we have our own perceptions of love, and we have our own ideas regarding the individuals in our lives that we feel should love us. Mothers should love their children. Husbands should love their wives. Children should love their parents, and pastors should love the members of their congregation. We usually do strive to love the people in our lives whom we are taught that we are supposed to love, but do we really love them according to the measure, capacity, and by the standards by which God loves us or desires us to love? Our love has conditions, but God’s love is unconditional and without limits. As we seek for the answers to the questions that we have, and we seek those answers from the One who has the answers, we will find that God’s love for us is beyond our human capacity of comprehension. Only when we allow Christ to love others through us, will we truly find the answers to all of the questions that we have ever had, and we will come to the realization of God’s divine, unconditional love for us all. We will no longer question His love for us regardless of situations and circumstances that take place in our lives. We will come to the realization that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose as we finally come to the realization of God's unconditional love for us. Only when we walk in a man’s shoes can we truly understand their motives and their reasoning for the things that they do. Only when we walk in the shoes of Christ as we allow Christ in us to love others through us will we truly come to the understanding of who Christ is. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then we shall also appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3: 4). When Christ becomes our life, He will appear in us, and we shall then appear with Him in glory as we begin to walk in His shoes and allow Him to love others through us. When others begin to persecute us and say all manner of evil against us, we will then count it a blessing to forgive them, just as Christ said to His Father, “Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do.”

About the Book
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends. The Great X-Cape II (God’s Amazing Love) takes spiritual concepts from my first book, The Great X-Cape, expounds on those spiritual concepts in more detail, and is a continuation of my first book. Through the storms, through the valleys, and through the fire, God has been a constant source of motivation, inspiration, and comfort, and He has been my bridge over troubled water as I continue to make my great escape each day by faith. He is God on the mountain and He is still God even if we are facing the darkest valley that we could have ever imagined. There is a hiding place in God that we can enter into where our troubles can no longer find us as we find our faith in God and place our complete confidence in Him. God has turned my greatest tragedies into my greatest victories, my impossibilities into possibilities, and has become, to me, the greatest Superhero that I have ever known. When we surrender our self-made invisible cape to God, we will find that nothing is impossible with Him.
