read about God’s “one way love” :: review and giveaway

A couple weeks ago, my husband and I started reading One Way Love. Every night we crawl into bed and read a portion of this book. While we have not quite finished it yet, I can already tell you that this book has been a blessing.

About One Way Love
Real life is long on law and short on grace – the demands never stop, the failures pile up, and fear sets in. Life requires many things from us – a stable marriage, successful children, a certain quality of life. Anyone living inside the guilt, anxiety, and uncertainty of daily life knows that the weight of life is heavy. We are all in need of some relief. Bestselling author Tullian Tchividjian is convinced our world needs a fresh encounter with grace.

This book has not only been a reminder of the loving grace of God and His one way love, but it is also a reminder to me personally that I need to show that kind of love to others. Because God has forgiven me and shown me His grace, I know that I need to show others that kind of unconditional love and forgiveness!

There was absolutely nothing I did to earn God’s grace and there is absolutely nothing I HAVE to do to maintain it. As Tullian says, “Don’t get me wrong – what we do is important. But it is indefinitely less important than what Jesus has done for us.” The reason I read my Bible, pray, give of my time and love others is not because I am required to, but because I WANT to. Jesus did it ALL for me… it should be my desire to do my all for Him.

If you are stuck in the trap of feeling the need to “perform” in this life, please read One Way Love and let it be an encouragement to you and remind you that, “The Gospel of Jesus Christ announces that because Jesus was strong for you, you’re free to be weak. Because Jesus won for you, you’re free to lose. Because Jesus was Someone, you’re free to be no one. Because Jesus was extraordinary, you’re free to be ordinary. Because Jesus succeeded for you, you’re free to fail…. Once the good news grips your heart, it changes everything. It frees you from having to be perfect.”
