Love
"Love's Greatest Joy" provides a solid theological grounding and stimulates the reader to a greater love for God. The tenets of our faith are clearly explained, provoking questions are asked, and life-transforming spiritual exercises are included. The book is an essential discipleship tool and a 'must read' for anyone desiring to grow near to God. On February 16, 2012 I heard the author's presentation of his doctoral thesis for his Doctor of Ministry at Tyndale Seminary in Toronto. This The field testing of the book (part of the thesis) demonstrated that 91% of readers were hugely impacted by the book in their motivation to live for God. This engaging and clearly-written discipleship book fills in all the gaps in our theological understanding.
