And how can we learn to love like him? In this book, Paul Miller invites us to get to know Jesus, to observehis life and his love as they unfold in the gospelnarratives. The accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke,and John combined with Miller's own life stories -will encourage us to imitate Jesus' way of lovingpeople.
