Description

Bestselling author and pastor Francis Chan explains how abiding in the love of God frees us from insecurity and leads us into a lifetime of joyful, worshipful obedience.

Despite pastoring for decades and reaching thousands of people through his books and preaching, Francis wrestled with deep-seated insecurity. He understood God’s love conceptually, but struggled to actually experience it. This resulted in a life that was far from the thrilling and peaceful life God saved us for. 

Francis prayed fervently for God to intervene, and asked his friends and family to do the same. The result was a fresh revelation of the depth of God’s love and affection. This brought about newfound freedom and enjoyment of God that only continues to grow. 

As Francis shared this journey with others, he realized that many in the Church are burdened by the same insecurity, and God is zealous to change this. 

In Beloved, Francis Chan gives biblical insight into:

  • How our restlessness and striving is a symptom of our disbelief of God’s love
  • Satan’s schemes to keep us trapped in doubt and insecurity 
  • Discovering and abiding in our identity as God’s beloved children
  • How God’s love overflows to a life of radical obedience and joy


God longs for His children to rest securely in His holy love. It’s what we were made for, and it is this inward confidence that causes us to be light unto the world.

Bestselling author and pastor Francis Chan explains how abiding in the love of God frees us from insecurity and leads us into a lifetime of joyful, worshipful obedience.

Like Francis Chan, many individuals have a hard time understanding God's love for us. Chan does a fantastic job of really trying to break it down for us, from understanding our insecurity, to revelation of God himself, even to mediation (purely on scripture - LOVED this!!!) and how to keep going. This is a well needed book and comes highly recommended!

This is a fantastic book I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat! Having been a Christian for most of my life, there’s much of the Christian walk that has become head knowledge instead of heart knowledge, and this book is filled with reminders of powerful truths about God and His love that I have allowed the enemy to deceive me about or give lesser value to than I should have. Sometimes the foundations of the Gospel become too familiar, and my heart needed the reminders of God’s love that this book is filled with.

Francis is so passionate about helping believers to dwell on God’s love for His people and writes in a very relatable way.

This is an absolutely phenomenal new book from Francis Chan. It is almost an indirect follow-up to his breakout hit, Crazy Love, something he touched upon briefly within the pages of this book. While we all understand God's Love that he has for us, so many of us fail to have it deeply embed itself and imprint itself upon who we are and how we live life and view God. This book is a breath of fresh air and a helpful reminder that what we really, truly need is to grapple with the idea that we are God's beloved. Not just us as a church body, but each of us individually.

I really enjoyed the authentic writing of Francis Chan. He always captures the Heart and Soul of a man searching for God. No matter how many years he has studied and preached, Francis Chan continues to show us how to encounter God with the heart of a Child of God. I will definitely share this book and read it again.
