A loving life
in a world of broken relationships
Book - 2014
Who doesn't love love? From romantic comedies to dating websites, we can't seem to get enough of that fuzzy feeling. But is it possible that our culturally conditioned perspective on love might be setting us up for failure, disappointment, and heartache? Best-selling author Paul Miller seeks to redefine this commonly distorted concept through the lens of the book of Ruth--a powerful story of the enduring beauty and grace of steadfast, covenantal love. In exploring a variety of universal themes--from the nature of true community to grappling with sadness--Miller offers hope to those struggling with elusive, strained, or broken love as he shows how the story of Ruth points ahead to a love infinitely deeper and more lasting than anything we can imagine: God's love in Christ.
