| Love Beyond Reason by Zondervan Five Stars are not Enough! |
John Ortberg is my Pastor...he is insightful, deep with a great sense of humor when presenting God's messsage to us.
"Love Beyond Reason" falls in line with how I've come to understand Jesus.
I would give it 10 Stars if it were an option.
I have been struggling with letting go of a loved one who is in the throws of alcoholism.
With the help of this writing, I have been brought deeper into my own healing as well as grown in faith & trust.
When we come to Jesus in answering His call to repentance, he accepts us the way we are, but loves us so completely that he won't let us remain that way!
I have read two other of John's books so far.
"If You Want to Walk on Water, You Have to Get Out of the Boat"
"The Life You've Always Wanted"
Each are equally insightful and encouraging!
I plan on making this a staple in my personal library and will give this book as a gift whenever possible.
Many thanks to you, John, for your faithfulness to the Lord and sharing your gift.
God Bless You!

| Love Beyond Reason by Zondervan Amazing |
| This book is amazing. I've read it slowly because I want to savor every word. I've been a Christian for a long time and usually I don't like sugar-coated Christianity, but the way this book talks about God's love really humbled me and made me realize the vastness of God's grace. This book discusses God's tremendous unconditional love and encourages us to have that same kind of love for others. One thing Ortberg said that stood out is, as I grow closer to God, am I becoming more approachable (more loving) or less approachable (legalistic and judgemental)? Really made me think about how gracious I am (or not) toward others. I've recommended this book to all my friends. |
| Love Beyond Reason by Zondervan Awesome! |
After having read several of Ortberg's books, I would have to say this is the one that really touched me.
John's gift for storytelling is simply wonderful. He starts the book by discussing our raggedness - but that is hardly the end of the story. He goes on to tell us how the greatness of God heals and redeems us - again and again. He uses biblical depictions that are rich in detail and apply to our lives today.
My favorite chapters were "The Lord of the Second Chance" and "The Roundabout Way."
In "The Lord of the Second Chance," Ortberg gives a detailed account of Peter's great failure and how Jesus restored him. It is a very touching depiction, rich in detail and emotionality.
In "The Roundabout Way," he explains that God is not as concerned with the journey as he is "who" we will be when we arrive at our destination. He discusses the possible reasons for the roundabout way, suffering and how this journey can bring us into a closer relationship with God. From my own experience in the "roundabout way," I can honestly say that I see things much more clearly now.
Another chapter that I found very provoking was the chapter on Grace and how even we, as Christians, sometimes forget that we need to extend grace to others as freely as God has extended it to us.
I have read this book over and over and plan to give it as a gift to several of my friends and family. I highly recommend it!!! |
