He explores John 3:16 not as a message about saving the unworthy but as a declaration of God-affirmed value. He also encounters Hagar from the underside of power, finding hope in an enslaved woman who names \"the God who sees me.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat emerges is a different way of understanding love itself. Love is more than kindness, sentiment, or personal virtue: it is a commitment to wholeness: our own, our neighbors', and all of creation. And it's not a zero-sum game. In a culture that so often legitimizes division, hierarchy, and conformity, Trey asks us to turn toward compassion, contemplation, and connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonal, affecting, and grounded, \u003cem\u003eLove Is Good Religion\u003c\/em\u003e is an invitation to discover a faith that draws us more deeply toward God, one another, and a more whole world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16093307\"\u003eTrey Ferguson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lake Drive Books, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957687827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957687827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL006700\"\u003eBiblical Studies | Bible Study Guides\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIB\"\u003eBibles\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIB018020\"\u003eOther English Translations | Devotional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL012120\"\u003eChristian Living | Spiritual Growth\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Paper\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lake Drive Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53639600079157,"sku":"9781957687827","price":26.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/9656\/7605\/files\/9781957687827.jpg?v=1790355276","url":"https:\/\/incorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/love-is-good-religion-a-30-day-journey-to-compassion-contemplation-and-connection-9781957687827","provider":"Indiana Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
