Book of the Month
Loving God, by Charles Colson
(248.4 COLSON)
Jesus tells us that the greatest commandment is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” But how many of us know what this looks like in daily life? Here is a penetrating look at the cost and joy of being a Christian.
