Summary

Fr. Peter van Breemen reminds us that in an age where everything seems temporary, the love of God is permanent. God won't let go of us.

In this beautifully written, personal exploration, van Breemen enters the depths of forgiveness, mercy, compassion, and resurrection. A book written for our age, its message is timeless: there is absolutely nothing that can sever us from the love of God.

Inspired by van Breemen's series of retreats in Bingen, Germany celebrating St. Hildegard, The God Who Won't Let Go is a gift, an invitation for each of us to experience for ourselves the God whose love is life's foundation. Here van Breemen becomes our own retreat partner, walking with us into the very heart of God.

Experience life's center, the love of the God who holds onto us through every turn in our lives.
