Still Moving: The Journey of Love's Perfection
Speaking about love, Jesus said we should be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. Was Jesus joking? Was he setting us up for failure? Or was Jesus offering us a greater experience of God's love than we are currently settling for? Still Moving is about the journey of love's perfection. God wants to make us perfect in love in this life. And God wants us to strive after God's perfect and perfecting love. Still Moving is for individuals and groups seeking to give shape to their formation, to clarify the goal of their faith, and to live in deeper intimacy with God.

Jesus' interpretation when he was questioned about which of the commandments is the greatest is no secret. To love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves is familiar, central spiritual guidance. But two millennia after this response, we still struggle greatly with how to actually do what Jesus said was the most important thing.
This book goes a long way toward filling that gap. Robert explores what it would mean to love God with all of our hearts––then what it would mean to love God with all of our minds, then our strength, and our souls––through until love's completion in life with our neighbors. It's helpful, enjoyable, funny, and provocative, and if by God's grace I take one more step today in the way of life it describes, my love for God and others will be more complete than yesterday.
