Look to Love

A Better Way to Read the Bible

By: J L Gerhardt

Narrated by: J L Gerhardt

Do you love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength?

It's the first and greatest command - the most important thing. But even if we want to love God that way, most of us don't.

Are we doomed? Absolutely not.

Drawing from psychology, Shakespeare, loads of scripture, and her personal experience falling in love at 13 (and staying in love for 26 years), Gerhardt makes a story-rich case for a surefire way to fall in love and stay in love with God.

Hint: It's a better way to read the Bible.

Inspiring, warm, genuine, and practical, Look to Love is both convincing and comforting. This isn’t a book to shame you into reading your Bible. It’s an invitation and a help. Gerhardt doesn't just leave you wanting to love God; she shows you how.

Look to Love is divided into three sections:

• The first four chapters introduce listeners to the idea of looking to love in scripture.
• The middle section leads listeners through 11 case studies - practical examples of what it looks like to interact with God this way through the Bible.
• The last section explores a few key areas of application: how to look to love in communal Bible study, how to talk back to God as you read, how to approach the thornier parts of scripture, and how to turn reading about God into living with God.

Loving God

Great book. Love to listen to her read and her insight to Who is God.

An excellent read!

What an eye-opener. I will definitely be reading the Bible in a different way. Love this book can’t wait to read it again and take lots of notes.

Thought Provoking

Really thoughtful and so well written. (Enjoyed the audio version that felt like a conversation over coffee) And most importantly, left me with an excitement to begin reading God’s Word in a new way…learning that the more I look, the more I’ll see.

Worth a listen

This is lovely. I found the podcast of the same name from JL Gerhardt during Covid-19 lockdown as a listener of her husband’s podcast Holy Ghost Stories—highly recommend! I look forward to reading and listening to more from these Gerhardts! God is beautiful!
