One of the sad truths of Christian experience is that many of us have been extremely hurt by others, not as a result of persecution in the world, but because of conflicts within our own church families. So a book that helps us to consider how we can love one another better is a valuable resource.
This little book is a meditation on 1 Corinthians 13, a chapter we know well but neglect in practice. James Renihan asks us to seriously examine our behaviour, but he is careful to avoid the twin dangers of overwhelming us by our failure or encouraging us in a legalistic effort to live out the Christian life. Throughout the exhortations there is comfort in repentance and hope of empowerment by God’s gracious Holy Spirit.
