Defending the Christian faith is a multidimensional task. But central to that task must be the presentation and example of the uniqueness of Christian love. Author and apologist Art Lindsley explores the persuasive and illuminating power of Christ-like love expressed in commitment, conscience, community and courage. Such love, Lindsley shows us, does indeed bear ultimate witness to the living truth of Jesus Christ.

REVIEWS

"Art Lindsley enriches modern apologetics with his thorough and careful exploration of Christian love. Lindsley winsomely shows how atheism and a host of world religions subvert or compromise the concept of love when these worldviews are taken to their logical conclusions."Chuck Colson, founder, Prison Fellowship
"A simple, clear and effective argument for Christianity as the only worldview that justifies the thing we all, deep down, know is life's highest meaning and value: charity, unselfish love. Simple but irresistible."Peter Kreeft, professor of philosophy, Boston College, and coauthor of Handbook of Christian Apologetics
"Lindsley is right: Love is the final apologetic. But what does that mean? Read this book. Don't just agree with it. Act on it. You'll be living kingdom apologetics."James W. Sire, author of The Universe Next Door and Why Good ArgumentsOften Fail
