The One Thing Necessary

Christian love is not some weak, fuzzy attempt to be nice and not rock any boats. God s love is the transformative power of the universe that was revealed in Jesus Christ and is available to anyone willing to pay the price of embracing it. It is the one thing necessary that Jesus taught and acted upon during his entire ministry.
In this radical new interpretation of love as the touchstone of the Christian message, well-respected author Leonard Doohan explores the human longing for meaning; the Scriptures; the relational model of the Trinity: the ideas of human vocation, destiny and community; the mystical spiritual traditions; and his own experiences to explain what love is, how we find it, and how we can use it to change the world.


Each of the seven chapters contains several quotes and focus points at the beginning and the provocative questions at the end for reflection or discussion by adult religious educations and bible study groups.
