Love Has a Story: 100 Meditations on the Enduring Love of God

by Quina Aragon

Love has a story. It’s bigger than you. It’s bigger than me. It comes from old, an overflow of the beautiful love shared between the Father whose heart bursts for the Son, the Son who adores His Father, all wrapped in the glorious, life-giving love of the Spirit. And this great Love knows and cherishes every secret and intimate detail of your story.

In fact, this story is for you. So where and how do we fit in this grand story of love? In Love Has a Story, author and poet Quina Aragon shares how, before the foundations of the earth, the great storyteller was penning a story that included you. Love was thinking about you, imagining ways to showcase His love for you, and planning to rescue you. This was not one of those sentimental loves, but a love that would traverse the wilderness in search of and for His beloved . . . and give everything—His life, blood, wounds, hope, and an invitation to be family.

Join Quina in entering the greatest love story ever told. Through the prose and poetry of these meditations, you will come to know the great love of God for the world and for you. When you reach the end of this book, you will want to begin all over again. And you will want to share this great love story with your friends and family.

Before you danced in your mother’s womb, before Adam and Eve, your greatest-grandparents ever walked the earth, before stars lit up the night sky, there was God—handpicking you to inherit a bottomless His love. —Quina Aragon

I heard Quina give her testimony on a podcast episode of Preston Sprinkle’s podcast,l “Theology in the Raw” & I immediately ordered the devotional that she had written.
I find it really difficult to find a devotional that doesn’t read more like a superficial self help entry with a Bible verse slapped on, and I was so pleased to find that Aragon doesn’t do superficial.
Aragon dives deep into what the love God is and how it transforms our lives, even in the darkest times. Aragon gives her testimony in the “Note to the Reader” at the beginning and I highly suggest you read it before beginning the devotionals. This woman has BEEN THROUGH IT (like so many of us have) & knowing her story makes the devotionals that much more relatable. Aragon is also a gifted poet, and she has sprinkled in her original works throughout the book, which was an incredible treat. The daily entries are deep, thoughtful, and I was frequently moved to tears as I considered the love of God in ways I hadn’t before.

What beautiful writings of God’s love. Aragon takes us from creation to ultimate reunion with God describing His love throughout the Bible. Her poems are incredible & add so much.
I read it through this time but look forward to going back and reading it as it was written, a 100 day devotional.

[Bethany Gerdin]

This is so much more than a typical devotional, and it’s perhaps the first one I actually ever finished.

[Paola Barrera]

It’s a double treat to read this devotional. Aragón stirs your affection for God while poignantly sharing her gift for poetry and lyrical writing. It’ll feed your heart as much as your mind. And this will make a gorgeous thoughtful gift as well.
