OVIEDO, FL — William L. Baessler, a seasoned educator and spiritual leader, announces the release of his transformative new book, “GOD and ME”–A Personal Relationship or PROMISES, PROMISES. Drawing from decades of experience as a teacher, principal, and seminar leader at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Baessler provides a clear, scriptural roadmap for those seeking to move beyond religious theory into a living, breathing connection with the Triune God. This profound study explores the certainty of divine promises against the backdrop of human fallibility, offering readers a sense of peace and purpose in an increasingly chaotic world.
Restoring the Divine Connection: A Roadmap for the Soul
The book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding God’s nature and the Six Pillars of Promise: The Existence of God, Creation, Redemption, Sanctification, Covenants, and Grace. Baessler tackles deep theological questions such as the existence of God and the nature of the Trinity with the clarity of a teacher, making complex spiritual concepts accessible to everyone from “compliant” seekers to “challenging” skeptics.
“God loves each person individually, and He asks each person individually, ‘What are you going to do with my Son, Jesus? Will you receive Him as your personal Savior and enter a personal and intimate relationship with Him?'” says author William L. Baessler.
Key Insights for Spiritual Growth
The book provides a structured approach to faith, organized into essential themes:
- The Certainty of Promises: Contrasts God’s 100% reliable promises with the often-broken promises of humanity.
- Understanding Attributes: Explores 13 specific attributes of God, including His unconditional love, holiness, and changeless nature.
- The Means of Grace: Explains how God uses His Word and the Sacraments to nurture and strengthen a personal relationship.
- Restoration Through Redemption: Details how the relationship fractured in the Garden of Eden is perfectly restored through faith in Jesus Christ.
A Message of Unconditional Love
At its core, the book offers a steady path for readers who want to understand the Gospel, trust God’s promises, live faith with confidence rather than fear, and be in an intimate and personal relationship with the loving Triune God. Baessler shares his own personal journey from inner-city teaching challenges to navigating health recoveries to illustrate how God’s “guiding and directing hand” is ever-present for those who trust Him.
“His love for me did not depend on me, but it was His decision to love me, and there was nothing I could do to make Him stop loving me,” Baessler reflects. “That understanding is such a liberating feeling.”
“God does not ask humans to be perfect; He only asks them to believe in Jesus for salvation.”
“Living under the Law means endlessly comparing yourself against unattainable expectations,” Baessler describes. “The Gospel reveals God’s answer: salvation through faith in Jesus Christ exclusively. This concerns not what we achieve. It centers on what Christ achieved for us.”
