Secure takes a look at how this theory applies to our relationship with God. When God created us, he intended that he would be our primary attachment above all else. It is only after we have established a secure relationship with him that we can cultivate healthy relationships with others.In this book, readers will learn to recognize the signs of an unhealthy attachment with God. As they study foundational truths about God and their identity in Christ, they will gain essential tools for maintaining a secure attachment with God. The outcome will be a life characterized by hope, healing, and fulfilling relationships. Ultimately, a secure attachment with God can lead us to our own "ministry of reconciliation" as we proclaim what God has done for us and wants to do for others.
