Description
Why has the human race, the world over, been so fascinated with . . . some might say obsessed with . . . God? This built-in attachment to God crosses religious, political, ethnic, cultural, and generational barriers.
Drs. Clinton and Straub reveal fascinating research about this worldwide phenomenon. From avoidant, anxious, and fearful to secure and personal, the range of responses to our internal attachment to God has a profound influence on the way we do relationships, intimacy, and life choices.
With helpful self-assessments, intriguing questions, and surprising revelations, this book moves from worldwide statistics to personal challenge, offering the means to become securely attached to God in a way that can have positive effects on our attitudes, approach to life, and overall life satisfaction.

"The Bible emphasizes the fact that human beings are created in 'the image of God.' That makes us different and unique in all of God's creation. Clinton and Straub build the case from both Scripture and scientific research that humans are 'hard-wired' for a relationship with God. While He obviously seeks us, we also are designed to seek Him. 'You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart' (Jeremiah 29:13). Don't miss this dynamic and insightful study!"

Attach yourself to this book as a great way to understand, launch, and build your faith!"
