That Love Which is of God

Beschreibung

"I thought the subject had been exhausted until I read this book." "This book will make a difference in any person's life who reads it sincerely." "This book lays a sure foundation in explaining the love of God; then develops the love that is of God." "Dr. Tottingham has made a scholarly and necessary contribution to my library by penning this book." "Anyone will be a better preacher, Christian, husband, father and friend if they will this book." This book does some effective mind-bending when it says: "...as one grows into love, one grows out of love. Love is being blinded to one's faults enough to see the assets as towering over the faults. Love is majoring on the assets and forgetting the faults." Isn't that good? Wish I had said that. "Love and lust may be similar in appearance, but they're very different in nature. Lust is getting; love is giving: lust thinks only of its own happiness; love thinks of the happiness of another."
