“God is inviting us into a new attachment, into a new relationship, and into a new relational posture toward the world around us. It is a redemption that is more than a collection of ideas; it is an experience of love. It is becoming the beloved children of God. This ultimately is what normal psychology is. It’s redeemed psychology. It's psychology with a foundation on perfect love.”
