Marked By Love By Tim Stevens



If you’ve ever been discouraged by Christianity—whether you’ve been a lifelong churchgoer or someone who left religion a long time ago—this book will change your life.

God only spoke twice while Jesus was on earth. (We should probably sit up and pay attention.) Both times He said: Jesus is “marked by my love.” No tattoo. No handshake. No team colors or logos or code words. The only thing that marked Jesus Christ and the only thing that would mark His followers—love.

Consider. . .
How would I treat someone who I disagree with in a political discussion if I ran everything I said through a filter of love?
How would I care for someone who is contemplating an abortion if I were marked by His love?
How would I help a friend going through a divorce if I really loved him and his family?
What would be different about my social media posts or comments if I really loved the people I was responding to or writing about?
How would I show love toward the gay couple that moved in next door if I was actually following in Jesus’ steps?
How would I treat the Hispanic family who I think may have crossed the border illegally and are living off government welfare if I were marked by his love?
How would I respond to the homeless guy begging on the curb in a loving way?

This is real life stuff. If every follower of Jesus was truly marked by love, it would change the world.

My Thoughts...

This is a book with a lot to chew on.
I found it repetitive and like many  Spiritual Growth books out there right now.
Stevens make some valid points and there is scripture to back up his content.
I would recommend this book to those who have not read many self help books.
I gave it 3 stars and I just did  not find it to be my cup of tea. You give it a try and see how you feel about it.
 The Mary Reader received this book from the publisher for review. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are our own.
