What if love was never meant to wait? What if the greatest expression of God's love is not simply welcoming people home, but going after them? In LOVE COMPELS: A Modern Parable Inspired by Luke 15, bestselling Christian author Dr. Kayla Bullard reimagines Jesus' parable of the lost sheep through a powerful contemporary story that will challenge everything you thought you knew about compassion, reconciliation, and the relentless pursuit of those who have wandered. Daniel Cross thought he had finally rebuilt his life after tragedy. His family is healing. His business is thriving. His faith is stronger than ever. But when his adult daughter, Ava, disappears into a deceptive spiritual movement and cuts off all communication, Daniel discovers that true love cannot remain comfortable while someone it loves is lost. Leaving behind career opportunities, personal commitments, and the safety of the ninety-nine, Daniel embarks on a journey that teaches him the true cost of becoming a shepherd after God's own heart.
LOVE COMPELS is a profound exploration of the Father's relentless pursuit of His children. Through unforgettable characters, authentic family struggles, and biblically grounded storytelling, readers will discover: ¿ What it truly means to leave the ninety-nine to seek the one. ¿ The difference between controlling people and loving them. ¿ The healing power of patient, sacrificial, Christlike love. Drawing from the timeless truths of Luke 15, this inspiring novel reminds us that no one is too far gone for the Shepherd to find, no heart is beyond redemption, and no journey is too great when love is compelled by the heart of God. The story emphasizes that Christ came "to seek and to save that which was lost," inviting believers to reflect His love through active pursuit rather than passive observation. Whether you are praying for a prodigal child, grieving an estranged relationship, serving in ministry, or longing to understand the heart of the Good Shepherd more deeply, this unforgettable story will stir your faith, renew your hope, and inspire you to love the way Christ loves. Because love doesn't simply wait at home.
Love goes looking.
