Not Forsaken is one of the most important books of this generation. It will help you reclaim your identity as a fully loved child . . . of God! Louie Giglio shows us how to know God in a brand new, empowering way. I give this book my highest recommendation."
Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author, President of Proverbs 31 Ministries "The thought that any one of us, no matter who we are or what we've done, can be children of God, called by God, loved by God, and never, ever, ever forsaken by God Himself is mind-boggling, breath-taking, and life-changing. Read this book and be encouraged by a glimpse of who God is that changes everything about who you are and how you live."
David Platt, Lead Pastor, McLean Bible Church, Founder,
Radical.net "Much of our worry stems from the fact that we don’t view God as a loving Father.
Not Forsaken will help you realize how much God cares for you and is committed to taking care of the details of your life—you’ll learn to trust God more."
Pastor Rick Warren, Senior Pastor of Saddleback Church, Author of The Purpose Driven Life and The Purpose Driven Church "The unprecedented impact of
Not Forsaken originates as a direct reflection of Louie’s life. His radical awareness of God as the Perfect Father is the key to unlocking the freedom and influence of the Christian life. It’s time to clear the fog on our view of God, uncovering the truth and beauty of His nature and walking in the fullness, authority, and intimacy we have been granted."
Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling Author
"When I first became a Christian, I had a lot to learn. Truth is, I still do. Thankfully, God has been patient with me through the years and shown me what it’s really like to be His child. But here’s the thing: He wants you to discover that same truth in your own life. And I firmly believe Not Forsaken is a great place to start."
Dave Ramsey, Bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host "Olympic Gold medals, WNBA titles, and undefeated seasons could easily be described as the most important part of my identity. But it’s not! Knowing that I am a beloved daughter of a perfect Father literally changed my life years ago and it’s what I count on every day as a professional athlete. Louie’s Not Forsaken connects with each one of us as he so clearly points us back to our perfect Father. Open your heart and dive into Not Forsaken . . . you won’t be the same!"
Maya Moore, Four-time WNBA Champion, Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, WNBA All-Star and all-time leading scorer "Some communicators speak to the heart. Others speak to the head. A choice few are able to speak to both. My friend Louie Giglio is one of these. He is both pastor and teacher. He certainly has pastored and taught me. His new book
Not Forsaken addresses a deep need. May God use it to heal and help us all."
Max Lucado, Pastor and New York Times bestselling author "It’s been said that what comes to mind when you think of God is the most important thing about you. In
Not Forsaken, my friend, Pastor Louie Giglio brilliantly and beautifully helps us form a freeing, scriptural image of God. Don’t put this important and timely resource down."

Not Forsaken to heal hurts in your heart you didn’t even know you had."
Levi Lusko, Pastor of Fresh Life Church and author "It’s all too easy to under-recognize, under-celebrate, and under-utilize some of the wonderful blessings we have as Christians. The amazing privilege that we get to call God ’Father’ is likely toward the top of the list. Louie’s brilliant teaching in
Not Forsaken is therefore such an important one—reminding us who we are as children of God, and reorienting us in our relationship with Him. This wonderful book is a celebration of the Father heart of God, and of the life-changing identity we have as His sons and daughters. You’ll love it!"

Not Forsaken, will bring hope and healing to us all."
Travis Greene, Musician and pastor of Forward City Church "
Not Forsaken is a powerful book that offers a revolutionary promise to us all. Louie beautifully describes a God who is for you and not against you, and he invites us to live as a loved son or daughter of the King."
Scott Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of Thirst: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a Mission to Bring Clean Water to the World "
Not Forsaken is a powerful book. An important book. My friend Louie is right—what you believe about God is not only the most important thing about you but is absolutely crucial to how you live. Sadly, one of the most misunderstood roles of God is as our Father. I lost my own dad when I was only nine months old and know what it’s like to lack a healthy comprehension of who He is in that respect. But I have also discovered that embracing God as your heavenly Father can transform your life—filling you with the abiding reality that you are loved, wanted, secure, have a significant purpose in this world, and have an unshakable eternal hope. So I am grateful to Louie for writing such a thoughtful and timely book about the fatherhood of God. My prayer is that through Louie’s wise and powerful words, your eyes will be opened to the awesome, sacrificial love God has for you so you can comprehend who you are as His beloved child. Because in this truth is healing, freedom, overflowing hope, and all the eternal blessings God has for you."
Dr. Charles Stanley, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Atlanta, President, In Touch Ministries
