“Everyone today is an expert on love,” is Dr. Allan
Fromme’s cryptic reflection on our current mood. With a sense of
human adventure, Eugenia Price suggests in Make Love Your
Aim that anyone can be “an expert on love” if
he will dare to discover for himself the love God offers. “We
have so sentimentalized our concept of love that it bears no
resemblance to the original,” Miss Price writes. “We have taken
the word of romantic novels and motion pictures and TV and perfume
and men above the Word of God. The Bible declares that God is love.
How closely does your concept of love resemble the love of God? We
tend to judge the quality of love according to the way it makes the
loved one feel. But to judge love by feeling is our big error and
the point at which we turn aside from God’s original concept.”
Make Love Your Aim is a companion piece to the author’s
last book, The Wider Place, which was described by some
readers as a “controversial challenge” to try the inner freedom
God grants to anyone who want it enough to assume the
responsibilities that come with it. Freedom and love are two sides
of the same coin. And we can only understand them enough to
practice them if we know the way God defines them. How does He do
this? In Jesus Christ, the final yet continuing revelation of
God’s true intentions toward all of us. Those who are familiar
with Eugenia Price’s books will recognize this as a recurring
theme. Make Love Your Aim develops it with imagination
and versatility: “Jesus said, ‘If the Son shall make you free,
you shall be free indeed.’ But He was offering to wave no magic
wand over our heads so that we could do as we pleased. He also
said, ‘This is my commandment, That you love one another as I
have loved you.’ His is the love of the Cross, without
self-defense, without self-pity – and totally free.”
