~ ENDORSEMENTS: "LET LOVE WITH
THROUGH YOU" ~
”Many big books are like a shallow lake. Ed has written a short book, which I liken to a well, that may be small but is deep. Reading this book. like the best of devotional classics, brings spiritual refreshment. The message is so simple and fundamental that the reader is left wondering why did I drift away from it in the course of the years. And like any classic, we need to re- read it on a regular basis in order to plumb its depths. Drink from this well and you will want to come back for more.” –Dr. Eddie Gibbs, Senior Professor of Church Growth, Fuller Theological Seminary “Ed Gross has a holy and heart-felt zeal for the love of God, which he rightly believes is the source of all spiritual vitality. Whether we realize it or not, we are starving for God’s love . . . and hurting others by our failure to love. Let the Holy Spirit use this warm-hearted book to fill you with the love of Jesus.” – Dr. Phil Ryken, Author, Sr. Pastor, Tenth Presbyterian Church “Everyone who hears Jesus’ new commandment, ‘Love one another,’ will want to revel in ‘Let Love Win Through YOU!’” –Dr. Gerry Breshears, Professor of Theology, Western Seminary Co-Author: Vintage Jesus, Death by Love “We use the word ‘love’ all the time, but almost always misunderstand it in relation to biblical truth. Ed’s refreshingly simple and helpfully insightful approach offers us a solid picture of love. With that picture I gain hope–hope that God’s perspective can get us back on track with his love as the foundation from which we can love others as he does. –Dr. Scott Moreau, Professor of Intercultural Studies, Wheaton College, Editor, Evangelical Missions Quarterly “Ever wonder why Paul said that ‘the greatest of these is love?’ Ed Gross personally and pastorally reveals the simplicity and complexity of love. Read his words, listen to his heart, and you will find yourself drawn to a deeper love for Jesus Christ and for other people. This is a book to move your heart, so be prepared to change and to love it.” -Dr. William Krewson, Chair, Undergraduate School of Bible and Ministry, Philadelphia Biblical University “This is a helpful book, wise and spiritually alive, intended for use in personal devotions or small group studies, and reminding us of the love of God as the great theme that stands at the very core of Christian faith and life.” -Dr. Gary D. Badcock, Peache Professor of Divinity Huron University College, London, England “This in depth, biblical study of the love of God will not only broaden your knowledge of this wonderful subject, but will challenge you to look honestly at your own practice of true biblical love. Read it carefully, especially with a desire to apply its teaching to your own life, including your relationship with God and with others.” Dr. George Murray, Chancellor, Columbia International University “Ed Gross is a thoughtful pastor and a good scholar. But this little book doesn’t come from Ed’s head, it comes from his heart; and to read it properly you need to open your heart and let it be bathed in the love of God. Ed himself will tell you that there is nothing new in what he writes–but it is a message we need to hear over and over, and it was a joy and encouragement to let Ed’s passion touch my soul deeply.” Rev. Stephen Smallman, Director, Birthline Ministries “Agape love demands that we step outside of our comfort zones and be willing to sacrifice for those who often spit at us in return. It is the love modeled by Christ on the cross, when he said, ‘Forgive them, Father…’ It is impossible for us to give this kind of love unless we have first experienced such a love from God. Sadly, we as the church often do a poor job in modeling that which we have received in abundance. Pastor Gross, though, reminds us that once we have experienced this kind of love from Christ, it ought to be impossible for us not to share such love with others.” Pastor Win Groseclose, Westminster Presbyterian Church Chaplain - Rocky Bayou Christian School “The first epistle of John states - herein is love, not that we love God, but that he first loved us... This reality allows for us to approach Christ’s summary of the Decalogue - love God and love our neighbor, with intentionality. Ed Gross helps us understand these truths in very practical ways using a simple, non-technical language in doing so. I would recommend this book to all generations.”Pastor Zachary Ritvalsky, Sweet Union Baptist Church “As a local church pastor, it is my supreme task to assure parishioners are on a spiritual growth track that leads to … spiritual maturity in Christ. Such I believe is accomplished through multiple ministry mediums, even guest pastors … invited to minister in my local church context …. At a Sunday morning worship service …Pastor Ed Gross spoke … on the topic of ‘Let Love Win Through You.’ The message’s content and delivery, most certainly propelled by God’s Spirit, created a spiritually attentive and sobering atmosphere that obviously resonated with the hearts of congregants and even inspired a post-message response of many who acknowledged an immediate need for transformation in their love relating to God, oneself or others. The challenge of the message resoundingly reminds Christians in any church or ministry context of the chief priority of loving God and others ‘purely’ and therefore ‘triumphantly’ in the whole of their living and service for Christ. Apart from such our pursuit and practice of Christian love is lost at the heart level.” “‘Let Love Win through You’ is destined to be one of God’s tools of the twenty-first century which universally sharpens Christians’ perspective and practice … of Agape, providing elements of healing and health to hearts and lives in need of God’s renewing love.” Pastor Ronald Parks, Philadelphia Bible Fellowship Community |
