God is Love

I finished reading God: A Good Father -- I'm not sure I agree with all of the theology or the every way the author used to approach the subject of God being good, but I think this book is definately needed. I've heard so many times that God is just watching for us to mess up -- when I was growing up my church used to sing "Be Careful little eyes what you See" as "The Father up Above is looking down below". It wasn't until I was an adult I heard it sung "The Father up Above is looking down in love". I've been afraid of God for so long I'm just now beginning to be able to enjoy His love.
