Summary: Love, If That's the Only Thing You Can Do
Review: I am very fond of Kenneth Hagin's books because he writes from experience... He was healed and raised from his death bed when he was a youth. God has been using him in a healing ministry, and he knows God. God often speaks to him quite directly. This book has really turned me around. Hagin cites practical everyday experiences on how love works, and on how we can make love work. Loving our enemies is not something most of us would embrace, but Hagin shows how unforgiveness is actually detrimental to our own physical and spiritual being. He doesn't pretend to be above us, but cites examples of mistreatment to himself. We identify with him and are subsequently able to understand the reasons why we cannot react in an unkindly manner: It is for our own good that we bless our enemies though human reasoning will not help us understand why. Hagin sets forth the spiritual principles at work when we do what is contrary to human nature: We reap what we sow. Another principle that hits home hard is: to be judges of ourselves and not others. In his encounters with ministers, he has witnessed early demise because of those who are reluctant to be judges of themselves. All in all, Hagin teaches that love will keep us and our families in perfect health. This book is like a soaker hose: It drips wisdom about the second greatest commandment in everday language into our hearts.
