Look to Love: A Better Way to Read the Bible

Do you love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? It’s the first & greatest command—the most important thing. But even if we
want to love God that way, most of us don’t.

Are we doomed? Absolutely not.

Drawing from psychology, Shakespeare, loads of Scripture, and her personal experience falling in love at 13 (and staying in love for 26 years), Gerhardt makes a story-rich case for a sure-fire way to fall in love and stay in love with God.

Hint: It’s a better way to read the Bible

***

Inspiring, warm, genuine and practical,
Look to Love is both convicting and comforting. This isn’t a book to shame you into reading your Bible. It’s an invitation and a help. Gerhardt doesn’t just leave you wanting to love God; she shows you how.

Look to Love is divided into three sections:

The first four chapters introduce readers to the idea of looking to love in scripture.
The middle section leads readers through 11 case studies—practical examples of what it looks like to interact with God this way through the Bible.
The last section explores a few key areas of application: how to look to love in communal Bible study, how to talk back to God as you read, how to approach the thornier parts of scripture, and how to turn reading about God into living with God.
