Healing Wounds Hidden in Plain Sight
Dr. Ron Campbell, writing with bestselling author Ron Brackin, makes a simple yet striking case. Love is not a feeling we summon or lose with our moods. It is the very nature of God himself.
Across twelve chapters, the book moves through creation, Paul's description of love in 1 Corinthians, the Song of Songs, shepherds and hired hands, the Trinity, prayer, and the cross.
Each chapter examines the same truth from a fresh angle and ends with Scripture you can return to.
What you will explore
God Is Love
Love is not a what, it is a Who. The steady nature of God himself.
Hard Questions
Why a loving God allows suffering, how the Testaments fit, and what happened at the cross.
Live It Out
Ten Scriptures and simple affirmations to keep close after you read.
Grit and Warmth
“He does not lecture. He tells stories, asks honest questions, and lets Scripture carry the weight, never talking down to you.”
A Trustworthy Guide Through the Heavy Terrain
Most of us were taught that love is an emotion, something that arrives and fades with circumstances. This book gently challenges that idea and offers something steadier in its place.
Dr. Campbell writes from a life that took him from special operations in the South African military to decades in ministry, words with both grit and warmth. He tells stories, asks honest questions, and lets Scripture carry the weight.
If you have ever wondered who God really is or felt distant from a love you could not quite name, this book meets you there with clarity and genuine care.
