God Called Love - Experience Love, In An Anxious World, Needing Grace

Unconditional love, a concept so profound it demands our attention, challenges us to seek it out.

But what does such a lofty phrase truly mean?

And is this love genuinely offered to everyone?

God's Word declares perfect love for all, yet we navigate a world rife with anxiety, smothered in despair, and surrounded by distractions and disasters. Amidst this, we learn from 1 John that ""God is love."" This foundational truth invites us to discover the grace-filled love of God-a God synonymous with a perfect form of love, capable of helping us see beyond ourselves and into eternity.

He is the Creator of love, and He has demonstrated His love to us. Therefore, we, those who seek to follow Him, ought to be transformed into creatures of love as well. In doing so, we find ourselves capable of loving one another, and as Jesus proclaims, ""love is made complete in us.""

""God Called Love"" embarks on a journey to explore this divine love and to reject the anxious desires of this world. Rooted in the Gospel of John and born from a search for understanding God's perfect love and a desire to communicate it to others, this book will challenge both new believers and lifelong followers seeking to grow in the Way of Jesus Christ.

Michael J. Chanley is a local pastor obsessed with teaching about God's love. His recent projects have grown from his desire to more fully understand the meaning of ""God is love,"" as written in 1 John.

Both resources are available at michaeljchanley.com, or wherever books are sold: God Called Love: ""Experience Love In An Anxious World Needing Grace"" and ""Experiencing God Called Love: 5 Week Journal on God's Love and Guidebook to the Spiritual Practices."" After honorably serving in the Marine Corps, Michael followed his calling to serve in ministry. For over 25 years, he has served in children's and family ministry. He currently serves as the Pastor at Tunnel Hill Christian Church in Southern Indiana. It is a community dedicated to meaningful growth with a vision to ""grow in faith, share hope, and to love one another as followers of Jesus."" His passion for people led him to pursue degrees in history and sociology. He also earned his Master's from Lincoln Christian Seminary, where he focused on ministry, spiritual formation, and leadership.Michael has been married for over 30 years to Rose. Together, they have three wonderful children and one grandson. On their small farm, nestled in the highlands of Southern Indiana, they keep chickens, peafowl, a chocolate lab, too many cats to count, and an apiary full of honeybees.
