Subtitle: Offering Unconditional Love---Even to Those Who Don't Deserve It 
Learning to love is the most vital, yet, for some, the most difficult lesson in Christianity. One woman wrote: "All of us have at least one person in our lives who needs love, even though they don't deserve it. We want to be able to love them, but we sometimes don't know how to go about it or how to get past the pain inflicted on us by that 'undeserving' person. Helpful solutions are needed in dealing with those people we consider 'albatrosses' in our lives." 
Only love can destory an enemy. Love is the one eternal, indestructible force for good. However, when love is conditional, it isn't love at all. Indeed, the only way we can demonstrate true unconditional love is when they don't deserve it! Perfection is in the love, not in the person being loved. God loves us, not because we're good, but because He's good. 
We were born to love; it is in our very natures. It is only when we resist our natural inclination to love---when we employ the love of power rather than the power of love---that we experience turmoil in our relationships. Paradoxically, the less we try to control others, the more real influence we will have in their lives. We must give up all of our excuses not to love. 
Cheryl Carson, admittedly, grew up a modern-day Pharisee---totally committed and strictly obedient to God's commandments, focusing on the outward manifestations of righteousness. But life humbled and taught her. Through painful experience she learned that successful gospel living is not measured by how many rules we keep, but by how much we are like Christ. That we are as perfect as we are loving. That faith makes all things possible, but love makes all things easy. That only by learning to love can we experience peace, joy, and wholeness. Keeping the Law is vital---but we must realize that His Law Is Love.

Dad Was a Carpenter: A Father, A Son, and the Blueprints for a Meaningful Life

Kenny Kemp

Finally in paperback, this is the first novella in the Parables of the Carpenter series previously available only in hardback. In this, the first entry in the series, Kenny Kemp deftly places a young Jesus of Nazareth in the very stories he will one day teach the world. On this occasion, Jesus (or Jeshua as he is known in his native Aramaic) has been hired to repair the front door of a wealthy landowner's mansion. While there, Jeshua learns of a family in crisis: the younger brother Reuben has taken his inheritance and left his family, wasting his means and life in a foreign land while his older brother Simeon remains behind, bitterly but faithfully fulfilling his family obligations. Their father Eli, saddened by his two disappointing sons, seeks answers from his rabbi, a traveling merchant, and finally, from the young craftsman Jeshua. This remarkable and unique take on the most famous story of all --- the Prodigal Son --- takes the reader into the world of the New Testament in a way seldom attempted and even more rarely achieved: fascinating characters, a fully-realized time and place, and an unforgettable look at the most famous teacher of all: Jesus of Nazareth.
