LOVE IS THE KEY
By Alec Judd
Day One. 150 pages. £7.00
ISBN 1 903087 79 1

Perhaps the greatest blight affecting the Church of Jesus Christ today is the abject failure for believers to obey one of the most basic of our Lord’s commands: ‘… love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another’.

Far too often today we find behaviour exhibited within fellowships which would shame most worldly institutions: members bearing grudges, others refusing to speak to one another; a lack of forgiveness; harsh and cruel words spoken and justified . . . members’ meetings can resemble battlegrounds! Into this situation comes this most welcome book Love is the Key.

As a launchpad, Judd uses 1 Corinthians 13 to expound what love is and is not. Building on this we have a further 12 helpful chapters on very practical areas of church and home life, including a memorable one on ‘Forgiveness’, what it is, and, very importantly, who makes the first move! Here is a real practical gem clearly setting out how we as Christians should behave towards each other — love is the key!

The message of the book is applicable to all believers and its easy style and language makes it accessible to all.
