Does your heart for God beat a little slower than it once did? Has your time alone with Him become an exercise in monotony, perhaps to the point of just giving up? When Jesus asks how much you really love Him, do you answer with Peter, "Well, you know I like you!" Ron Bridges challenges you in this book to rebuild and strengthen your bond of love with God. Speaking from his own experience of brokenness, Bridges shows how our self-centered society lures us into a watered-down love for the Lord. This, in turn, offers us little motivation to endure when the going gets tough. So how can you begin to restore what you've lost? First Love gives you scriptural guidelines to evaluate your affection for God, followed by practical steps to renew and deepen it. Bridges' personal examples, compelling illustrations, and warm, readable style go straight to the heart.
