These were the problems that faced the Christians of John's day. In a society that scorned the gospel and sneered at godly living, John encouraged Christians with a message forged from two words: \u003ci\u003etruth\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003elove\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concerns of John's original readers are still the concerns of the church now. In this accessible retelling of John's message, David Jackman provides historical background, identifies key themes, and offers applications for today. He describes John's first letter as an upwardly spiraling staircase that circles and broadens out around twin themes of truth and love, mind and heart, Word and Spirit. It is a message both timeless and timely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis revised edition of a classic Bible Speaks Today volume includes updated language and Scripture quotations and a new interior design.
