Tony Cointreau, the heir of the French liqueur family and international singing star, search for a life of meaning took him to Calcutta and work with Mother Teresa. Mr. Cointreau wrote A Gift of Love because people kept asking him to do so, telling him that there was a great need for it. Perhaps it was their parents who were dying, or another family member, or a close friend, and they needed to know what they could do for their loved ones in those last weeks, days, or hours. They knew that he had worked with Mother Teresa as a volunteer in her homes for the dying, and had twelve years' experience in what they were facing perhaps for the first time, and asked me to pass on some of my knowledge.
Love has always been the need. Jesus has always been the answer. "The world is hurting for love," writes pastor and Bible teacher Charles Stanley. "Because God is infinite and full of compassion, He heard our cries and responded in the form of a perfect gift, Jesus." Consider this simple truth: all the wonderful attributes of God would be meaningless unless God was also a giver. He loves the world, and the evidence of that love is that he gave His Son. From this simple but profound premise, Dr. Stanley unfolds the riches of the giver and the glories of the gift. Stanley explores the many dimensions of God's generous nature, first in His character, then in the revelation of Himself through His Son, and finally in the impact of His magnificent gift. Written in a warm, daily devotional format, A Gift of Love will cause the height and depth of God's love to shine in your heart.
