Joseph Stowell's retelling of this wonderful story from Luke probes the essence of what it means to love Christ. It forces us to face the reality of whether we are more like the loving woman or the standoffish Simon. Of course, we want to believe we would be at the feet of Jesus competing for space with the woman. Don't be too sure. Chances are that many of us are a lot more like Simon. If that thought troubles you, then you're off to a good start. Wanting to love Christ in ways that touch His heart is the beginning of a new and transforming way of life.

Loving Christ will help readers recapture the excitement and love for Christ they first experienced as a new believer. It will rekindle the passion so that it burns brighter than ever.
