Chilcote\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Vision of United Methodist Life Together.\u003c\/b\u003e Our world needs love during these desperate days of radical polarization and division. Our United Methodist churches yearn to embrace love more completely because God first loved us. Our \"faith\" (including doctrine) is important; Christian \"hope\" (including renewal) is important; \"love\" of God and neighbor is more important. \u003ci\u003eMultiplying Love\u003c\/i\u003e underscores what matters most and stands in contrast to divisive misreadings of essential Methodist teachings. Chilcote helps us embrace anew the Wesleyan vision of love of Jesus as central to what we believe and how we live. When I finished \u003ci\u003eMultiplying Love\u003c\/i\u003e, I found myself jumping up and down shouting, \"Yes, yes, yes! Gosh, do we need this!\" We are at a remaking moment in the church. Dr. Chilcote beautifully articulates the deeper theological vision that beckons and sustains us. \u003ci\u003eMultiplying Love\u003c\/i\u003e helped me more thoroughly embrace the kind of loving people we are hoping to become. That's what it's all about to me, and this book nails it! --Rev. Christy Allen Holden, co-creator of The Channel UMC, a new hybrid community of faith (@christyallenholden) Every United Methodist pastor would do well to invite their church council to read Paul Chilcote's brief and powerful \u003ci\u003eMultiplying Love\u003c\/i\u003e. It recalls the power of the Wesleyan approach to the gospel and makes a compelling case for the future of The United Methodist Church. I loved this book! --Rev.
