Many believers feel bombarded by new ministry programs and trendy "systems" for improving their walk with God. But living as a Christian is both simpler and deeper than a never-ending list of how-tos. The 3 Loves offers readers the chance to rediscover what it means to follow Jesus . . . no unnecessary frills, no complicated program--just loving God, loving His people, and loving the broken world. From the earliest days of the church, these three loves have together been the bedrock of a solid, unfaltering walk with God. The authors look closely at the early church's focus on the three fundamental motivations, recounted in the New Testament. They share personal stories about their own rediscovery of basic Christianity as well as testimonies from many others who have deepened their three-pronged love. Also included are exercises and tools to help readers begin to practice the three loves, through intimate prayer, making disciples, and sharing their faith. Readers will understand and experience how the three loves are inextricably entwined--loving God, loving the church, and loving the broken world are the heart of Christianity.

The single most important task for any Christian is to love God with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their mind. But what does loving with the mind look like? How can we know if our soul-love is real? And how do we grow in our heart-love? In this practical and persuasive book Dr LaFountain breaks down these three very distinct types of love. She presents each one on a continuum and provides psychological tools for the reader to self-evaluate their placement along the continuum. Biblical and psychological strategies are provided that help the reader navigate their heart, soul, and mind towards fully loving God. Understanding the uniqueness of the three types of love and how to apply each to our relationship with God allows us to fulfill the first and greatest commandment of loving God. Then perhaps when we finally meet God face-to-face we will hear ‘Well done my good and faithful servant.’ A MUST-READ for anyone serious about growing in their love of God. — Pastor Stephen Smickley, Church Leadership Coach. Dr. A. LaFountain is well placed to explore and develop the application of psychology to Christian behavior. In this book she provides a step-by-step self-help practice to guide her readers in fulfilling the primary goal of their religious faith. It is a valuable resource inviting reflection, change and personal development. — Dr. Michelle Peoples, Clinical Psychologist, St John of Gods, Dublin, Ireland.

The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I.

This work begins: "Jesus belongs to us. He vouchsafes to put Himself at our disposal. He communicates to us everything of His which we are capable of receiving. He loves us with a love which no words can tell, nay, above all our thought and imagination; and He condescends to desire, with a. longing which is equally indescribable, that we should love Him, with a fervent and entire love. His merits may be called ours as well as His. His satisfactions are not so much His treasures as they are ours. His sacraments are but so many ways which His love has designed to communicate Him to our souls. Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle, and end of every thing to us. He is our help in penance, our consolation in grief, our support in trial." Father Faber tells us that all of the Saints had three things in common: "1. Eagerness for the glory of God; 2. Touchiness about the interests of Jesus; and 3. Anxiety for the salvation of souls." He then expands on these three points essential to sanctification and salvation. Father Faber gives some good advice to atone for the sins of others in those seasons when people sin most, which today is always: "1. To abstain at that season with more than common care from some particular fault which ordinarily besets us. 2. To increase our time of prayer by adding at least half an hour to it. 3. To read longer than usual, say for an hour, some spiritual book, not one which will feed curiosity, but one which will excite pious affections toward God, such as the Confessions of St. Augustine, the Imitation of Christ, and the Lives of the Saints. 4. To afflict our bodies with some new penance, or to prolong some customary penance beyond its usual time. 6. Every time the clock strikes, to make a brief but affectionate act; of sorrow for the sins of the season: this may be done in any way, walking, or at meals, &c. 7. At least three times in the day, with a most profound genuflexion, and with great feeling, to adore the Divine Majesty toward the four quarters of the world, all which God is at this time being so grievously offended, desiring in some sort of way to compensate by this loving adoration, for the sins which are then being committed in those regions, grieving for them, and asking for their remission and for the conversion of sinners, and for that end offering up the Precious Blood and merits of Jesus Christ, which and most dear to God and most profitable to sinners. It was thus St. Mary Magdalene of Pazzi obtained the conversion of many sinners. 8. To do our ordinary good works on these days more perfectly, diligently, and fervently, especially those which relate to the immediate worship of God. For, as at these seasons worldly men and the servants of the devil arc more diligent and fervent in offending God, it is but right that souls loving God should be at least in the same proportion more diligent and fervent in well-doing and in divine worship. 9. To make an additional communion in order to appease God, and to worship Him by our loving reparation. 10. As God is especially offended on these days by excesses in eating and drinking, to mortify our appetite somewhat more than usual either in quantity or quality. 11. As God is also especially offended at such times by immodest conversations, to agree with some pious friend to meet and spend a short time daily in spiritual conference, simply to give pleasure and consolation to our good God. 12. As men are especially guilty at such times of sinful idleness, to take more than common care about the spending of our time, so that apart from innocent and proper recreation, no part of it should pass in idleness and inutility, but rather to be more industrious than usual. 13. Those who are under any vows should on these days renew them with fresh acts of love to God, a devotion suggested to us by our Lord's fixing the Thursday before Quinquagesima for espousing St. Catherine of Siena.

In his magnificent classic, Chuck Colson shakes the church from its complacency with a penetrating look at the cost of being Christian.For those who have wondered whether there isn’t more to Christianity than what they have known—and for those who have never considered the question—Loving God points the way to faith’s cutting edge. Here is a compelling, probing look at the cost of discipleship and the meaning of the first and greatest commandment—one that will strum a deeper, truer chord within even as it strips away the trappings of shallow, cultural Christianity.“Looking for the complete volume on Christian living? This is it. And the title sums it up. If you desire life deep, rich, and meaningful, then it is simply Loving God.”Joni Eareckson TadaPresident, Joni and Friends

In his two previous books translated into English, Patience with God and Night of the Confessor, best-selling Czech author and theologian Tomáš Halík focused on the relationship between faith and hope. Now, in I Want You to Be, Halík examines the connection between faith and love, meditating on a statement attributed to St. Augustine—amo, volo ut sis, “I love you: I want you to be”—and its importance for contemporary Christian practice. Halík suggests that because God is not an object, love for him must be expressed through love of human beings. He calls for Christians to avoid isolating themselves from secular modernity and recommends instead that they embrace an active and loving engagement with nonbelievers through acts of servitude. At the same time, Halík critiques the drive for mere material success and suggests that love must become more than a private virtue in contemporary society. I Want You to Be considers the future of Western society, with its strong division between Christian and secular traditions, and recommends that Christians think of themselves as partners with nonbelievers. Halik’s distinctive style is to present profound insights on religious themes in an accessible way to a lay audience. As in previous books, this volume links spiritual and theological/philosophical topics with a tentative diagnosis of our times. This is theology written on one’s knees; Halik is as much a spiritual writer as a theologian. I Want You to Be will interest both general and scholarly readers interested in questions of secularism and Christianity in modern life.
