Overview

Like any loving father, God wants to see his children living together in harmony and peace, and the church should be his visual aid of unity and love to all mankind. Any breakdown of relationships amongst his people tragically compromises Christian testimony in a divided world. The Bible has a wealth of teaching on this vitally important subject, and each chapter in Love Is the Key considers a passage of Scripture, underscoring the great importance that God places on human relationships, examining how things can go wrong in them, and giving practical guidance on how deal with existing problems and how to prevent new ones from developing. Warmly devotional in its tone and thoroughly practical in its emphasis, this book examines many aspects of biblical love. It is Christ-centered, full of biblical insights, and generously illustrated with engaging quotations from a wide range of sources.

In the Logos edition, all Scripture passages in Love Is the Key are tagged, appear on mouseover, and link to your favorite Bible translation in your library. With Logos’ advanced features, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “forgiveness” or “Ephesians 4:32.”
