'Where love commits, law contracts; where love forgives, law seeks redress; where love trusts, law asks for obedience. Living becomes a process of bargaining, not of making love real.'In this second edition of Making Love Real, David Hodges asks whether the 'laws' of Christian Churches encourage or discourage a loving life. He lays bare the difficulties between the Churches as hierarchical institutions and the original intentions of Jesus as presented in the Gospels. He suggests ways that contemporary believers can reconcile their rationality with biblical explanations and allegories written by believers two thousand years ago. Rather than viewing God as a supernatural entity, David explains how each of us can find fulfillment and happiness by making love real in our world.The money received from sales of this book will assist Uniting AgeWell's 'Music For David', a music program that supports people in their homes who are living with dementia, and gives temporary respite to their carers.

And did not want to put it down until the last.It is not only an enchanting fantasy filled with elemental magic and dynamic characters, it is also mysterious and suspenseful. I would almost label it 'Dark Fantasy', but while the cluster have questionable and morally grey pasts, they are driven by forces of light, and over their journey of transformation, become embodiments of light itself...." - Goodreads Review
