Why It's Hard to Love Jesus: Moving From Empty Routine to Passionate Reality

Why Itís Hard to Love Jesus takes a close look at the story in Luke 7 describing Simon the Pharisee and a sinful woman who anoints Jesus with expensive oil. When weíre confronted with the reality of Jesus, do we remain indifferent and religious like Simon the Pharisee or do we fall at His feet in adoring worship like the woman who had been forgiven much? Joseph Stowell challenges Christians to honestly probe the answer to this penetrating question. Dr. Stowellís position at the Moody Bible Institute, combined with his daily radio broadcast, Proclaim!, will ensure wide publicity. Previously published as Loving Christ (Zondervan) this new paperback edition has been completely re-edited, and includes application questions at the end of each chapter for personal or group study. Includes a ìgoing deeperî section at the end of each chapter.
