Reclaiming Love: Radical relationships in a complex world by
Ajith Fernando is a book about making Love your first priority.
This book is an
amazing collection of thoughts about how love can revolutionize
everything. Forgiveness, bitterness,
envy, contempt, etc can all be fixed if we learn to love as God commanded us
to. This is more than the “I love you,
you love me.” This is “ Love because you
have first been loved,” “The greatest commandment is this, to love your
neighbor as yourself.” This is everything
Jesus has ever showed us about love, everything Paul and the apostles showed
and wrote about as Jesus and love took over their life.
I really enjoyed this book.
He did an amazing job at explaining individual concepts (i.e. the best
remedy for contempt or envy is love) and then getting very specific with
examples of people in history and in his life.
I loved his use of Corrie Ten Boom’s story over and over again about how
love is drastic and life changing. I
have always loved her story.
Note: I did receive a free copy of this book from www.booksneeze.com. The opinions above are my own and I was not
compensated for a positive review.
