is book is designed to explore the Bible’s teaching on the subject of love. It considers what God’s Word has to say on a variety of matters regarding this vital topic, from God’s love for man to some examples of forbidden and mistaken “loves.” Each chapter ends with practical exercises and challenging discussion questions designed to lead the reader into a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the love that God has for us, and the type of love that we are to have for Him, and for one another. “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Since “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17), the essence of living faith is taking that Word, hiding it in our hearts (Psalm 119:11) and then putting it into action daily. Some of the best examples of living faith are found in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, also known as “The Faithful Hall of Fame.” You are invited to join us in a thirteen lesson study of this monumental chapter. In it you will discover faith in the hearts of God’s people that led to amazing accomplishments on earth and blessed reward in heaven. We, too, can have this faith and, with it, we too can overcome the world and celebrate victory in eternity (I John 5:4).
