Love or Die

Part 1 examines Jesus Christ's startling rebuke to His church: "An individual or a church can teach sound, correct doctrine, be very faithful to the gospel, be morally upright, and good workers, but nevertheless lack love and therefore displease God."

Part 2 presents practical ways to cultivate love in the local church: Study love, pray for love, teach love, model love, protect love, practice love.

"Jesus Christ commands us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Yet few Christians take this command seriously. Alexander Strauch does, and in 'Love or Die: Christ's Call to the Church to Wake Up from Spiritual Slumber,' he helps us understand how to apply Jesus' commands both personally and corporately in our local church. Every believer will benefit from studying this book." Jerry Bridges, Author of "The Pursuit of Holiness"
