Love Walked Among Us: Learning to Love Like Jesus Book

"Love didn't just walk among us. He can indwell in us."

"In love, Jesus looked at people. In faith, we look to Jesus."

"Jesus has shown us how to love: Look, feel, and then help. If we help someone but don't take the time to look at the person and feel what he or she is feeling, our love is cold. And if we look and feel, but don't do what we can to help, our love is cheap. Love does both."

This is my first Paul E. Miller book and it certainly won't be my last. This is a great Christian living book that focuses on loving others and uses the greatest example to follow: Jesus. Paul takes us on a journey and walks us through Jesus' life from the beginning of his ministry with examples of loving the poor, the outcast, and the forgotten; and he takes us all the way to Jesus' death, burial, resurrection, and appearing to the women and disciples. And in that journey, he shows us the many examples of Jesus' love. Many of the stories are obvious (and a great reminder) but there are also some of the lesser known encounters that are great reminders as well, especially when Paul gives us historical context. And that's one thing I really like about this book; having historical biblical context to better explain.

Loving people seems obvious to the Christian but we are all selfish human beings and sometimes need a gentle nudge or a swift kick in the pants for a call to action. To love others, to empathize with them, and ultimately treat them like Jesus did. This is the call to all of us who follow Jesus.
