“As the elegant cover design so beautifully implies, the cross of Christ is where ‘fully known’ and ‘fully loved’ intersect. Only in the gospel do these deep, universal soul longings get satisfied. Blake Glosson powerfully unpacks this truth in Fully Known, Fully Loved. This is gospel-centered writing par excellence. It’s concise and a pleasure to read, packed with rich, theological wisdom and deeply comforting, biblical hope. It's like Gentle and Lowly for the next generation (fitting that Dane Ortlund wrote the foreword!). This is the rare book that will be both a blessing to Christian readers and an attractive invitation to nonbelievers. Get this book for yourself and give copies to the spiritually searching people in your life.”
Brett McCracken, Senior editor, The Gospel Coalition; author of The Wisdom of Sleep
“What a timely read! I deeply needed the wisdom of this personal, pastoral, and practical book. Blake Glosson exposes one of our deepest fears—that if people truly knew us, they might not love us—and points us to something wonderfully better. With refreshing honesty and rich, biblical insight, Fully Known, Fully Loved reminds us that in Christ, we are completely known and deeply loved. This glorious truth changes everything.”
Douglas Sean O’Donnell, Senior VP of Bible and Church Resources, Editorial, Crossway; author of In the Secret of His Presence
“Transparent honesty is hard to find in a person, let alone a published book. You will find both in Blake Glosson and his book, Fully Known, Fully Loved. I write this with confidence because for the last decade, I’ve known Blake as both a fellow student and preacher. Moreover, I count him as a friend. My wife, Marci, and I have enjoyed countless hours at the dinner table with Blake, reflecting on the deep things of Christ and his Word. This book invites you to treasure God’s heart for you—for in Christ, you truly are known and loved.”
David Wollen, President, Haven Ministries; host, Haven Today podcast and radio program
“This little book is crammed with a large love for God. With Scripture as his guide and practical application in view, Glosson explores the human longing to be known and loved. Accessible yet rich, this work invites the reader to look down into their desires and up to the God who fulfills them.”
Aimee Joseph, Bible teacher; author of Made to Rest: True Peace in a World that Never Stops
“Blake Glosson has given us a gift in this intriguing and encouraging study of one of the hallmark benefits of our being united to Christ—that God both knows us and loves us. With helpful reflection questions and devotional prayer, Blake unpacks the manifold applications of the intimate fellowship we enjoy with God.”
Brian Cosby, Senior Minister, Wayside Presbyterian Church (PCA), Signal Mountain, Tennessee; adjunct professor of historical theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Atlanta
“Fully Known, Fully Loved exults in the God of all grace, whose love for his people is not subject to revision based on further information about who we really are. Jesus knows more about us than we know about ourselves, and there’s nothing he hasn’t already discovered that could make him love us less. I’ve had the privilege of watching Blake Glosson live in the good of this gospel truth, and now he generously and winsomely communicates these soul-refreshing riches for the benefit of the church in these pages.”
David Sunday, President, WordPartners; former lead pastor, New Covenant Bible Church, St. Charles, Illinois
“With an all-too-rare combination of rigorous biblical exegesis and vivid illustrations, Glosson shows us not only the nature of the gospel but how to apply it to the entirety of life. Pastors will find this book helpful in teaching the good news of Jesus Christ, and church members can find instruction on what it means to be fully known and fully loved by our God.”
D. Shaw, Senior Pastor, Grace Bible Church, Oxford, Mississippi
“Other than Scripture itself, one would have to go far to find such compelling arguments for God’s love for mankind. This book will produce a richer comprehension of just how well we are not only loved but understood. Piling Scripture after Scripture and reason after reason upon each other, Blake presents truth that compels belief and leads to a new way of living and thinking.”
Karen Aldridge, Counselor, New Covenant Bible Church, St. Charles, Illinois
