Love Made Perfect: Foundations for the Holy Life

by William M. Greathouse

The Dialog Series is made up of Bible-based, liferelated studies for small groups, Sunday School classes, and personal discoveries. Each text consists of 13 chapters written by a variety of well-qualified and thought-provoking Christian thinkers. The focus is on interaction and, of course, dialogue. "So that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live" (Deuteronomy 30:6, NIV). For many people discovering perfect love seems a frustrating and futile search. Even Christians who accept God as a loving Father have difficulty defining the abstract concepts of holiness, sanctification, and in turn, perfect love. In the form of exposition and exercise, Dr. Greathouse has prepared a Wesleyan, biblically sound approach to teaching the message of holiness. Love Made Perfect defines the abstract and gives fullness and meaning to entire sanctification. Wes Tracy, former editor of the Herald of Holiness, contributes vital end-of-chapter exercises to create a deeper study of the book and bring the material to practical application.

Greathouse does a great job sharing about perfect love. He shared a biblical perspective and he is well educated on the topic. He also shares many hymns and statements from other writers to bring more light on this topic. I was greatly blessed.

“At the very heart of the gospel is the promise of a deeper working of God's grace in the heart of the Christian believer, a grace receivable by faith in this present moment, enabling us to be and to act in conformity to the great commandment, which is to love God supremely and to love every other person as we love our own souls!”
