“Jesus wouldn’t hide his family picture. He’d hang it on the wall.” Erik Raymond.

Christ calls believers his brothers, and this promise of spiritual adoption is reflected through Scripture. When faced with shame and regret, however, it can be difficult to imagine fitting into the “family portrait” of a holy God. Erik Raymond examines several stories of flawed people in the Bible to show that Jesus’s heart is bent toward -not repelled by- those who are marginalized, feel far from God, or struggle with sin.  Examining God’s abounding love for underserving people, Raymond helps readers embrace their place in Christ’s beloved family.
