Agape; God's Persona (3rd Ed - B & W): It's a Book Without Life Unless with Love We Write. Pr. Ron Swingle 3rd edition

The Bible is God's way of communicating Himself to fallen humanity; and God is Love. Therefore, the Bible is actually about Love... God's Love... Agape. And this book is about reaching people with that great truth in a practical, understandable, no nonsense way. To begin with, we are inclined to take God's Love (Agape) for granted, as we group it together with human love. This is a monumental error, and this book explains why, and equips the reader with Biblical background information that facilitates clear understanding of God's complete plan and purpose for our life. You will see the Love of God, in action, in some amazing situations and circumstances, which will encourage you in your walk with your God, Who Loves you. We have many questions: What is my purpose in life? Why does God do that? Why doesn't He do this? What is sin? Why does God hate sin? Is there really a Heaven; and what will it be like? a hell? what will that be like? Who will go there? Why? Why not? Why should I go to Church? Where should I go to Church? and many, many more. But no book can answer all our questions, not even the Bible, because most of our questions can only be answered with experience. The key to getting good answers to life's greatest quesitons is to see them in the light of God's Love; because that's what life is really about... God Loving. Unfortunately there is precious little attempt made to instruct in this subject. I think that is true because so few of us understand how important Agape is to spiritual development. Agape is written as a sequel to "The Book Of Love", which covers much of the same subject material, but on a level that deals less with questions, and more with practical application. In the process of laying Agape out for a manuscript I soon discovered that one book was not going to be adequate. But Agape; God's Persona is a close as it gets. Agape makes a deliberate effort to use Scripture and doctrinal categories of truth; therefore, there is a comprehensive reference list for each Chapter. The reader is encouraged to use it. Blessed be the Name of the Lord... Amen!
