Bold as Love

Bold as Love: What Can Happen When We See People the Way God Does
By Bob Roberts Jr. (Thomas Nelson)
A 2014 Outreach Resource of the Year

Forty years ago Francis Schaeffer challenged the church to take seriously her intellectual and philosophical power to engage culture. Since then, untold volumes have been written giving guidance to what biblical living looks like in a pluralistic culture. Yet there comes a point when theorizing and strategizing isn’t enough. Enter Bob Roberts. He gives a timely, four-letter word admonishment for how to most effectively engage our 21st century world—love. Turns out, Jesus’ simple commandment to “love thy neighbor” is still revolutionary two millennia later! And Roberts runs with it, showing the average American Christian the power of love even when your neighbor is Muslim, Jewish or agnostic and may never call Jesus, “Lord.” His relatable approach, backed by a life of courageous demonstration toward those many consider “enemies,” is piercing. Bold as Love reminds us that all the intellect, philosophy and strategy in the world can’t surpass the jolting presence of God’s love fully expressed. —Gabe Lyons, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine
