John Sentamu's Agape Love Stories
Request Sample
Publisher: Darton Longman & Todd Ltd
In this moving and inspiring book, compiled by John Sentamu, 22 people, including Jean Vanier and Richard Taylor (the father of Damilola Taylor), explain how an experience of God’s agape love gave them hope and changed lives. These are stories which stand as inspiring demonstrations of Christian faith in action. Among the contributors are people who have lost loved ones to murder and natural disaster, some who have overcome extreme personal challenges and some who have devoted their lives to a God-given calling to the service of others. Their stories, with accompanying words of wisdom and encouragement from John Sentamu, are witness to the life-transforming power of God’s love.
