What happens when you can’t forgive and forget?
We’ve come to view love as being “nice,” yet the kind of love modeled by Jesus Christ has nothing to do with manners or unconditional acceptance. Rather, it is disruptive, courageous, and socially unacceptable.
In Bold Love, Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. Tremper Longman III draw out the aggressive, unrelenting, passionate power of genuine love. Far from helping you “get along” with others, Bold Love introduces the outlandish possibility of making a significant, life-changing impact on family, friends, coworkers―even your enemies. Learn more about forgiveness, maturity, and seeing others through Jesus’ eyes.
Filled with practical, no-nonsense wisdom, this book will help you:
- Set biblical boundaries in your relationships that protect your dignity while still displaying God’s love
- Pursue reconciliation and restoration without excusing real issues
- Confront your own sin so you can offer radical forgiveness to others
If you’ve turned the other cheek so many times your head is spinning, it’s probably time to take a second look at your practice of love.
