Book Review – Because God is Love, part 1 by Fersen Perera
Love is a word that is thrown around a lot in today’s world. We see people using love in lots of different contexts with lots of different meanings. However, that makes it very difficult to truly understand what the Bible means when it indicates that “God is love.”
What is love? What is love not? How are we deceived in today’s world into believing the lies that Satan uses to convolute the love of God? All of these questions and more are discussed in depth throughout Mr. Perera’s book as it seeks to uncover and expose the myths and delusions about love. This book is full of scriptural references that are used to help readers understand the Bible’s viewpoint on this most important topic.
Along with all the scripture references, I would have loved to see more personal, real-life examples and application throughout the book, but the intellectual foundation is most certainly laid through these pages. Mr. Perera’s passion to see this topic uncovered and explored is evident throughout the pages and with his excellent word choices, he carefully delineates all that love is not so the reader will be better able to grasp and recognize what love is because God is love.
