Love in Hard Places

Information on Love in Hard Places from the publisher:

It is the focus of countless songs, stories, and sayings. We try and tie it into a tidy box, but the truth is, when we put aside its sentimentalism, the topic of love -- true, biblical love -- is anything but tidy. Careful reflection on it quickly embroils us in thoughts of justice, revenge, war and peace, forgiveness, hate, and much more. D. A. Carson focuses on the aspects of Christian love that are not easy, such as loving your enemies and forgiving those who have hurt you. Whether the wounds come at the hands of a stranger in a distant land, from the neighbor next door, or from someone inside your home, this book helps you understand what biblical love is ... and is not. As the author sorts through the diverse ways in which Scripture speaks of Christian love, he shows how that love reflects God's own love. You'll see how to love wisely and well, faithfully and biblically in heartwrenching situations -- how to love even in the hardest places in life.
