Reclaiming Love Radical Relationships In A Complex World

In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul places love at the very center of what it means to embrace life in Christ. All other spiritual gifts are worth nothing in comparison. But the love explained in those verses is nothing short of radical. Fernando’s pastoral work—in the midst of the cultural and ethnic tensions of Sri Lanka—often brought up a very real and honest question: “Can the biblical teaching about love actually be practiced?” The answer he discovered is a resounding “yes.” The radical love of God is not only real, but it is the key to experiencing joy in the pain and suffering of this world. Believers must look to the Scriptures for God’s teaching on the true nature of love, its divine origins, and its power for those who trust in Christ. This book offers reflections on the Bible’s consistent teaching on love and shares real-life experiences of learning to love in difficult situations.

'My husband and I read this together and deeply appreciated Mr. Fernando's exposition of 1 Corinthians 13. His insights challenged us and sparked deep discussions. About half way through the book my husband decided to purchase a hard copy because my copy is on my kindle and he wanted one that he could peruse at his leisure. We've given copies of the book as gifts, and highly recommend it as an excellent study of an extremely important and relevant topic for Christians today.' J. Zartman
