This is an awesome book that I just stumbled upon at the library. It explores the experience of knowing God's love and expressing that love to other people... That seems like too broad of a topic to cover in a book that is just over 200 pages, but Philip Carlson's writing is concise and clear and full of wisdom and insight. I fully recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about faith and love.

This is an excellent book about the very basics of Christian life. It will cause believers and skeptics alike to take another look at Jesus and the power of the gospel message. I regularly recommend this book to people and I wish it was more widely available for purchase.
