Book Review: Compelled by Love by Ed Stetzer and Philip Nation

Finished reading Compelled by Love yesterday. I wrote about what the first couple chapters were teaching me about surrender and submission. (Search for the blog if you are interested ... which I know you won't because you aren't.)
:-)
The book is broken up into 3 sections:
1. Death by Love: God and mission (chapters 2 - 4)
2. Identifying Love: the church and the world (chapters 5 - 9)
3. Formed by Love: believers and the world (chapters 10 - 12)
Throughout the whole thing, the authors continually reminds the reader of several things that pertain to love:
1. Love is more than just a warm, fuzzy, emotional response.
2. Love shows itself best in action.
3. EVERYTHING that God does revolves around His love. It's part of His character, He is love. It's the basis for the Gospel message.
4. It's easy for believers to marginalize the importance of God's love.
This book is a GREAT reminder of the centrality and importance of love. God's love for us, our love for others, and making sure that we as believers keep His love at the driving force of our lives. If you find yourself stuck in a rut of the Christian experience, read this book. Get refocused on what's important.
Thanks Joe for recommending it, thanks Mr. Stetzer and Mr. Nation for writing it.
