LOVED FIRST

Nine chapters. One thread of Scripture from Genesis to the Gospels — showing that loving yourself well begins with believing you were loved first.

New Living Translation  ·  20 pages  ·  By Josephine Price
Why This Book

Your worth was settled before you did anything to earn it.

Most of us were taught that loving ourselves is either arrogant or optional — something to earn once we're good enough, disciplined enough, holy enough. Loved First begins somewhere else entirely: with the love God already had for you before you did one right or wrong thing.

"We love each other because he loved us first." — 1 John 4:19, NLT

Each chapter pairs a truth from Scripture with a short reflection, so the words have room to settle — not just be read. It's a book meant to be marked up, prayed through, and returned to.

The Author

Josephine Price

Josephine writes devotionals for people who've been taught that grace is for everyone. Loved First grew out of her own slow discovery that self-love isn't self-focus — it's just agreeing with what God already said about her.
