Prevailing Love

About the Book

Prevailing Love is all about what to do when everything else has failed, a common reason why our world is littered with bloody issues. It emphasizes the kind of love which enables individuals to forgive one another and live better lives. It also shows the different kinds of secular love and their weaknesses. It then points out that prevailing love is what we need to live better in this world. All other kinds of love have been tried by mankind but the results have left mankind heartbroken and unhappy. Much effort has not been made to learn and practice prevailing love. Without God's kind of love, our world and all relationships will continue to be shaky, bitter, and tumultuous. This book is divided into seven distinct chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the topic of love and a world without prevailing love, the main reason we have so many local and international human disengagements, hatred, and wars. Chapter 2 examines the limitations of secular love and explains why it cannot solve our social ills. Chapter 3 introduces prevailing love, its definitions and ramifications, and why it is the only option that can make a real positive difference in our world. Chapter 4 examines how one can develop prevailing love for dealing with personal, family, and societal social issues. Chapter 5 examines true life examples of some individuals who have lived in prevailing love. Chapter 6 discusses selected benefits of prevailing love if it is applied in our society today. Chapter 7 is designed to help people who do not have a personal relationship with God to be born again.
