Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Love Makes Things Happen
Jarred Mercer · 2022
72/100
👍 Worth It
An Oxford-rooted practical theology that bridges doctrine and daily Christian practice in accessible, chapter-by-chapter format. The independent chapter structure makes it genuinely flexible for groups or personal dipping. It introduces rather than explores, so serious theologians may want something more rigorous, but for Christians asking how belief shapes action it's a worthwhile entry point.
