If You Love Me: Serving Christ and the Church in Spirit and Truth

The lesson of love can never be taught simply by words . . . Rather, it is taught by truly giving yourself and communicating the love and longing for Christ to those you serve. . . . How awesome and dignified is Christian service! And how good is the trustworthy and loyal servant who can say along with Christ, 'Learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart' (Matt. 11:29). (from the Introduction)

This book is essential and inspiring reading for all who would devote their lives to the service of Christ and His Church.
