This book is asks the question: How good does God need us to be, for us to be loved? Does God require perfection? Effort? Humility? Willingness to admit mistakes? Most importantly, the author shows how guilt and shame are not helpful in our path, since they reduce our confidence and ability to be brave in difficult situations. Highly recommended.
