Love Taking Shape is a book of engaging and reflective sermons on the central Christian virtue of love -- which is understood and explored not as an affection but as a distinctive way of life.Delivered by a distinguished Christian ethicist and author, these sermons are uniquely sensitive to the daily needs of individuals desiring to live faithfully in today's difficult world. Gilbert Meilaender's sermons first address Lent, the Decalog, and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, and then turn to the crucial role of love in fostering inner renewal, care for others, and personal longing for God. Together, these inspiring sermons provide a truly meaningful way to think through the rewards and requirements of a life of Christian love.
