Description: "1. We love because He first loved us (I John 4:19). 2. Beloved, let us love one another (I John 4:7). 3. By this all people will know that you are my disciples (John 13:35). 4. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44). 5. Do not love the world or the things of the world (I John 2:15). 6. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). These six magnificent Bible passages give shape to this special study focused on the ridiculous love of God. In Jesus Christ, our Savior, is the real life example of what this love looks like. The challenge in this study is to learn how to live like Christ in a love-starved world. It is not only ridiculous, it is possible."--Back cover
