Loving the Way Jesus Loves successfully integrates biblical teaching, photography, chapter study guides, and a popular-level writing style--all of which will help you understand the profound love of Christ more deeply and, in turn, learn to love more deeply in response.

Even reason says: We go to the college of our choice, watch the cable channel of our choice, and eat the food of our choice. So why can't we pray to the god of our choice and get to heaven by any means we choose?
