The Lesson of Love

There are songs about love and stories about love but none give us as great a vision as the words Jesus spoke; "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength and love thy neighbor as thyself." In The Lesson of Love J. R. Miller addresses Love and helps us see the path to a deeper more expansive Love that is possible through Jesus Christ. "To learn how to love is to learn how to live. The lesson is a long one, but it is the great business of life to master it. The Master not only taught the lesson in words, but also set it down for us in a life, His own life. To follow Christ is to practice this great lesson, learning more of it day by day, until school is out and we go home." James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois. He was the General field Agent for the United States Christian Commission, an organization established by the Young Men's Christian Association after the First Battle of Bull Run. Miller authored nearly 100 books and articles.
