Who Told You That You Were Naked?: Freedom From Judgement, Guilt and Fear of Punishment (Paperback)

by John Jacob Raub (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Based on principles from A Course in Miracles--an irresistible invitation to accept the unconditional love of God! Writing with great simplicity about our unbreakable union with God, Raub maintains that it is only because we deny this union that we judge and condemn ourselves--and others. And he shows how it is only our belief in the God who loves us as we are--not as we should be--that brings us freedom from guilt and fear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peace of mind through forgiveness, July 13, 2000

By A Customer

All you Catholics and ex-Catholics out there who suffer from overwhelming guilt, read this book. Fr. Jacob shows you how to overcome these feelings. He explains what happens internally and how we exacerbate our guilt and how we can eliminate the harshness of it. He makes God's love for us very clear. I have given this book to other Catholics because it helped me so much and I've heard nothing but good results. Peace can be found with this book by the realization that through the power of non-judgment, which is forgiveness, we are free. Fr. Jacob explains what happens to us and how it can be overcome through finally understanding the teachings of Jesus. He really did show us the way. It's just that we don't "get it".

5.0 out of 5 stars It held my interest and I couldn't put the book down., February 3, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Indiana) - See all my reviews

I felt like God loved me for the first time in a long time. He explained the true self and the false self in a way that I could understand. His explanations and examples were easy for someone to understand, and you didn't need a college education to get anything out of it. I want to read it again, it was like getting a love letter from God addressed only to me. To think that God loves me THAT much! I hope he writes another book soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A message modern Christianity desperately needs to hear, March 15, 1998

By A Customer

This book is mandatory reading for Christians today. Father Raub fills his book will Biblical citations that all point to the fact that much of Christianity has missed: God never has and never will judge us. To have a true experience of God, to be in touch with the message of Jesus, we must come to see this fact. Our belief in judgement separates us from God, one another, and ourselves. We don't get to heaven by merit, but because of the warmth of a God who is on our side. This book made me rethink my faith and I am better off because of it. Dominic Perri
