Even though the Bible continues to be the leading best seller, fewer people are actually reading it. That’s unfortunate because God’s Word is just as powerful and life changing today as it has always been!

The Word of God tells us that there are two life roads—one leads to eternal life, the other to eternal death. There is an art to staying on the right road. There will be pitfalls and enemies who seek to trip us up and distract, divert, and destroy us along the way. But Jill Briscoe shows us that the Holy Spirit will guide, direct, and empower us to keep on walking in the everlasting way!

Love is the greatest of all virtues. Twice in the first letter of John we have these three words: God is love. Now God is not faith. God is not hope. Those are attributes of God, qualities that God may be the source of in our own life. But He actually is love. Love is His nature, and it defines His very being. Therefore, everything else that is true about God is permeated by love.
