Love or Die

Author: Alexander Strauch

In his challenging exposition of Revelation 2:2-6, Alexander Strauch examines this alarming rebuke of Jesus Christ to his church. Part I of the book reminds us that an individual or a church can teach sound doctrine, be faithful to the gospel, be morally upright and hard-working, and yet be lacking love and therefore, be displeasing to Christ. Love can grow cold while outward religious performance appears acceptable—even praiseworthy. Part Two of Love or Die presents practical ways to cultivate love in the local church, including chapters that challenge us to ‘Study Love’, ‘Pray for Love’, ‘Teach Love’, ‘Model Love’, ‘Guard Love’ and ‘Practice Love’.

A five-lesson study guide is included, making this an exceptional tool for classes and small groups.

“I can think of few books I've read recently that have had so immediate an impact on me and have given me so much to think about. I trust, that with God's help, the implications of this book will be with me always.”
Tim Challies
