<transcy>Love or die: Christ's Wake-up Call to the Church (Aime ou meurs) </transcy>
Christ calls the Church to wake up
The first part of this book examines the stern rebuke that Jesus Christ addresses to his Church: “. may a person or a church teach sound doctrine, be faithful to the gospel, walk righteously, and work zealously, but still could displease Christ because it lacks love.
Part 2 presents practical ways to cultivate LOVE in the local Church: Study, Pray, Teach, Serve as an Example, Preserve and Exercise Love.
This book includes a study guide which makes it an exceptional tool for classes and small groups.
