My Thoughts
If there is one term that has been misused way too much in our culture, it is love. This little four letter word is used by so many to either sell or justify many things. It has been taken out of its true context time and time again.
Jonathan Leeman has put together an amazing work in The Rule of Love that points the reader to a true sense of what love really is. Leeman reveals that there has been a separation of love from the authority that comes with it. He does well in pointing back to the fact that love is defined by the Person of God. It is in God that love is best understood and experienced. True love comes under the authority of God and allows Him to draw the lines.
Leeman’s careful use of Scripture as well as things from culture force the reader to look at what love really looks like and how it should be viewed in various contexts. Love is a wonderful thing, but when it is pulled away and used out of context, it can lead to some disastrous things.
Recommendation
I would highly recommend that every person grab a copy of The Rule of Love. It is not a hard read, but it is definitely a must read. This book does a great job of pointing people back to a proper perspective of love and the authority that it lives under.
