Here to Love

“’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” - Matthew 22:37-39

All you need is love.

If you think that sounds too simplistic, you’re right… but you’re also wrong. Jesus' command to love is simple! Yet living a life of biblical love for God and others is not always straightforward.

With good humor, grace, and wisdom, author Chris Cipollone clarifies the why and how of love as the driving force in the life of a Christian.

You’ll begin by delving into the simplicity of Jesus’ greatest command, exploring the Bible’s definition of love and how the call to love is at the core of your purpose and calling. Building on that foundation, you’ll explore the realities and complexities of love in many different areas of life.

Here to Love will refocus your heart on the first principle of Christianity, giving you a simple and liberating vision for your relationships with others, your decision-making and your day-to-day worship of God.

Questions for reflection or discussion are included throughout the book to amplify your understanding and application of biblical love.
