Due to a lot of changes in my life recently I have gotten behind on my book reviews so for the next week...possibly two...I will be catching up on my reading.
What does love look like?
That is the question that Heidi and Rolland Baker are
attempting to answer in their book Learning
to Love. They take you on a journey through all of the amazing things that God
has done to show them His love for them and for the people that they serve and
love in Mozambique. Heidi and Rolland are in Mozambique to share Christ with
the people, and their love for Him and the people shine through this book. They
also strive in this book to show us how Christ can move in our own lives in
miraculous ways if we are willing to let Him.
I found this book to be an interesting read. As someone who
has always had an interest in the field of missions, I enjoyed reading the
stories of the Baker’s experiences in Mozambique. To me, they were the best
part of the book. They also encompassed most of the book with a few chapters being
dedicated only to those stories.
While the stories were wonderful, I found that the book didn’t
really show me or teach me more about how I can love others here where I am at.
It did cause me to reflect more on my relationships with Christ and others, but
it lacked something…I guess what I am getting at is that for me while I loved
the stories, I had trouble applying it to my life.
Thank you to Chosen, a division of Baker Publishing Group for allowing me a chance to read and review this book.
God Bless You!
