So many personal testimonies from this group poured into Gwen\u2019s personal phone and the office that this webpage was set up to chronicle these testimonies. We hope you enjoy reading these testimonies and, as you read the book, you post your own experience and changes.<\/p>\n<p>Our prayer is that through this book, you will feel and realize a love for God which is so deep it changes the very motive of your heart. \u00a0Imagine walking through difficult relationship situations, reviving marriages that seem over, overcoming work challenges, losing the desire to overeat, overspend, over drink or over medicate, and solving seemingly insurmountable parenting issues with God\u2019s perspective\u2026with love.<\/p>\n<p>From the Bible, we know that God commands us to love Him first, then love our neighbor as ourselves&#8230;but what does this really mean and how do we apply it in our lives? Penned from Gwen&#8217;s own experience and decades of teaching seekers how to have a relationship with the Father, this book is a beautiful and inspiring writing that starts with a history of God&#8217;s love for man and mankind&#8217;s appropriate love back to the Father, then explains how this True Love can overflow into love for those around you (even the unlovable)! A Love More Ancient Than Time will move your heart to a deeper true love for God, a greater appreciation for Christ and more compassion for your fellow man!<br clear=\"all\" \/>Don\u2019t Have Your Own Copy? <a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/The-History-of-the-Love-of-God-Book-P2132.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click Here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read other books in this series: <a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/History-of-The-One-True-God-Volume-1-The-Origin-of-Good-and-Evil-Book-P1706.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>History of the One True God Volume I<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Other Books You Might Like<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/History-of-The-One-True-God-P1706.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-878 size-medium\" style=\"width: 30%; max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 7px;\" title=\"History of the One True God\" src=\"https:\/\/gwenshamblinbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/HistoryOTG_cover-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"History of the One True God\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/Rise-Above-P2471.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-882 size-medium\" style=\"width: 30%; max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 7px;\" title=\"Rise Above\" src=\"https:\/\/gwenshamblinbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/book_RiseAbove-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rise Above by Gwen Shamblin\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/The-Legend-to-The-Treasure-P2472.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-879 size-medium\" style=\"width: 30%; max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 7px;\" title=\"The Legend to The Treasure\" src=\"https:\/\/gwenshamblinbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/book_Treasure-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Legend to The Treasure\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/The-Tablet-P2473.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-881 size-medium\" style=\"width: 30%; max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 7px;\" title=\"The Tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/gwenshamblinbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Tablet-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Tablet\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/The-True-Vine-Devotional-P1429.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-877 size-medium\" style=\"width: 30%; max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 7px;\" title=\"The True Vine Devotional\" src=\"https:\/\/gwenshamblinbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/book_Devo_Vol2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"The True Vine Devotional\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/store.weighdown.com\/Exodus-Devotional-Laying-Down-Your-Idols-Book-P11.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-876 size-medium\" style=\"width: 30%; max-width: 300px; height: auto; margin: 7px;\" title=\"Exodus Devotional: Laying Down Your Idols Book\" src=\"https:\/\/gwenshamblinbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/book_Devo-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Exodus Devotional: Laying Down Your Idols Book\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Read Related Posts&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>[rpwe limit=&#8221;5&#8243; thumb=&#8221;true&#8221; order=&#8221;DESC&#8221; orderby=&#8221;date&#8221; excerpt=&#8221;true&#8221; styles_default=&#8221;false&#8221; length=&#8221;20&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gwen Shamblin, New York Times best-selling author of The Weigh Down Diet and the founder of Weigh Down Ministries releases the highly anticipated 400+-page hardback book<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-284","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
