    About this ebook

    The Disciplined Life through Agape expounds upon the Greek word agape, capturing nearly 45 years of biblical research. Even though other sources commonly translate it “love” and “charity”, this work delves far deeper into all 16 robust characteristics. Human sentiment and secular literature are left behind; deliberate consideration and action are brought to the forefront. The Disciplined Life through Agape delves into God’s Word to deliver a thorough understanding of the most significant code of conduct given to the Christian Church.

      Feb 24, 2022

      Many of us, particularly men, find the discussion of love quite difficult. One of the reasons for this is the paucity of the English language. In Greek, for example, there were six terms that described the various forms of love, viz. • Eros, or sexu
