Love Changes Everything (#affiliate)
By Micah Berteau, 2019
With the subtitle "Finding What's Real in a World Full of Fake", this is a book that many need to read. The focus is on God's amazing, unconditional love for each of us, and how realizing and internalizing that truth will truly "change everything". The author takes a closer look at the story of Hosea and Gomer, finding truths that will apply to any of us in our relationship with our heavenly Bridegroom. He also lays out what true love is, as defined in Scripture, and how we can display it to others.
I think this book is most appropriate for a millenial reader, perhaps especially those who have not been believers very long or those unaccustomed to reading much theology. It is full of references to pop culture, and is written in a simple, easy to read style.
As I do not personally fit this target audience, this book was not as meaningful to me personally as I had hoped. I found it to be rather hard to follow and lacking a logical progression from chapter to chapter...it is more like a collection of motivational essays than a well-planned volume. But nonetheless it holds much truth that I trust will encourage all readers to examine their own view of God.
Thanks to the folks at Handlebar for giving me a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
