Love Is Good Religion: A 30-Day Journey to Compassion, Contemplation, and Connection -- Trey Ferguson, Paperback
Trey Ferguson helps us to read the Bible again through the lens of love, not as mere sentiment, but as a commitment to wholeness.
In Love Is Good Religion: A 30-Day Journey to Compassion, Contemplation, and Connection, pastor and public theologian Trey Ferguson invites us beyond familiar readings of scripture to encounter its persistent call to liberation, community, and our shared humanity.
Across thirty readings of his New Living Treyslation and personal commentary, Trey invites us to slow down, sit with familiar scriptures, and encounter them anew. He argues that the first thing God calls "not good" is for humans to be alone. He explores John 3:16 not as a message about saving the unworthy but as a declaration of our inherent value. He reads Hagar from the underside of power, finding hope in an enslaved woman who first names "the God who sees me."
What emerges is a bigger way of understanding love itself. Love is more than 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 where we must give up our wholeness for others to be whole. In a culture often shaped by hierarchy, dominance, and fragmentation, Trey offers a vision of compassion, contemplation, and connection.
Personal, affecting, and grounded, Love Is Good Religion is an invitation to discover a faith that draws us more deeply toward God, each other, and a more whole world.
