Not a great book, but it was pretty good.

LEARNING TO LOVE BY HEIDI AND ROLLAND BAKER:
A REVIEW

While I had a bit of trouble getting started reading it, I do like books such as this one that share stories of God’s love at work and in action. This book did almost seem like more of a devotional because of the end of every chapter where there was Scripture, spiritual insights and encouragement.  

Three things that made an impression on me from this book:

1. A quote-“Love is as simple as stopping for the one in front of you.”
2. Whatever I do for “the least of these”, I am doing for Jesus.
3. God is MORE than big enough to do great things through you.

One thing I didn’t like was that I wish there would have been more stories about their work with the people in Mozambique and maybe less of the “devotional” parts.

If you like true stories or missionary stories, you may enjoy this book.  

Thank you to Chosen Books and Baker Publishing Group for giving me a free copy of Learning to Love in exchange for my honest review.
