Francis Spufford’s ‘Unapologetic’ aims to correct misguided pictures of God:

‘I am not what you were told...I am the Father who longs for every last one of your children. I am the friend who will never leave you. I am the light in your darkness. I am change and hope. I am the refining fire. I am the door where you thought there was only a wall. I am the gift without cost. Before the foundations of the world, I am.’

God says: ‘Come to me all who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest’. (Mathew 11:28)

God says ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ (Hebrews 13:5)

God says wait on me, ‘I will renew your strength’ (Isaiah 40:31)
