Love Rules

‘The idea of ‘love’ and ‘rules’ being put side-by-side may seem strange in an age in which ‘Just do it!’ is the order of the day. But this fresh look at the Ten Commandments shows that it is only when we see God’s rules in light of his love that we can really make sense of how his laws are meant to function. The very fact the Bible itself sums up God’s Laws with, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and your neighbour as yourself’, says it all. Our generation as grown up with a deep-seated suspicion of rules because of the myth that rules are the enemy of love. Here’s a book that shows nothing could be further from the truth.’ — MARK JOHNSTON
