In the book Love, written by Calvin Miller, we are shown many different aspects of love. What it means to us as Christians, how it affects our day to day life in our own personal growth and within the relationships we have with those around us. It is at the base of what so many of us believe, yet it can be so difficult to truly love like God loves. This book takes you through some interesting studies and brings up some thought provoking questions to get your mind and heart thinking not just about love in general, but how to apply it in our lives. This book is written like a study guide, divided into six weeks. There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter to get a group into a lively discussion each week. Miller keeps you digging deeper by having the weekly topic directed at a different area in your life – for example, serving others or personal worship. I read through this book without doing it as a study, but I can see how it could easily work as a small group guide or even make a meaningful personal study. I appreciated that he uses Bible texts throughout and encourages you to get into your own Bible, reading passages for yourself. This is definitely going to be read again by me and I can see myself using it in a group study.
