Known by God: A Spiritual Journey Into Being Truly Known and Fully Loved (Praying the Psalms)

What if the deepest truth about you isn't what you've accomplished or failed at, but that you are fully known and deeply loved by God? In a world where isolation and abandonment feel increasingly real, Known by God offers something our souls desperately need: the assurance that we are seen, understood, and never alone. Through a powerful verse-by-verse journey through Psalm 139, Allen Hood invites you into one of Scripture's most intimate portraits of God's tender, searching love. This isn't an academic study—it's a lifeline for anyone wrestling with loneliness, shame, fear of abandonment, or the nagging sense that they might be too broken for God's attention. With the heart of a pastor and the depth of a biblical scholar, Hood explores the psalm's stunning truths: God doesn't just know about you—He actively searches and intimately knows every detail of your life There is nowhere you can go where His presence doesn't reach You are fearfully and wonderfully made, regardless of what you've believed about yourself Even in your darkest valleys, you are not abandoned Drawing from decades of ministry, personal struggle, and rigorous theological training, Hood reveals how this ancient prayer becomes deeply personal—transforming our understanding of God's knowledge from something fearful into something life-giving. Whether you're facing crisis, walking through shadow, or simply longing for deeper communion with God, Known by God will meet you exactly where you are and remind you of a truth that changes everything: You are known. You are loved. And you are never alone. Perfect for personal devotion, small group study, or anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual formation through one of the Bible's most beloved psalms.
