God's Word Ain't Complicated - We Are!

By Jo Love

This book breaks down the dynamics of the most talked about parts of the Gospel or Scripture. The Gospel is made plain to all who believe. It is God's living Word, which became flesh in manifestation of Jesus Christ. God's Word is truly like a puzzle, which can only be pieced together by faith. Nevertheless, I don't find it strange that God would want it this way. He is clear that He wants our diligent, wholehearted efforts in knowing Him and receiving His glorious kingdom. This book is the true definition of tough love.

About the Author

Endorsements from Readers

Concerning the Spirit, I don't have an opinion, I just have faith. Regarding your booklet, it's thought-provoking, which is just enough of a nudge to get some headed toward Faith. Considering the atmosphere in which you have written this book, I must applause you for your accomplishment. Finally, I would like to suggest one thing: refine/edit.

—Gater

I enjoyed the reading; it was nice and aimed at the hip-hop and urban generation; that's a plus! And it will sell to the conservative crowd for different points of view on God and His word… Overall, it was good, and I'd recommend it to others. Thank you for the enlightenment. I've learned some stuff that I didn't know about the Bible, so again, I thank you. May God protect you always and bless you and those you hold dear to your heart, in Jesus's name, Amen.

PS. Don't stop writing and keep pushing to publish this!

—Carlos Los Hernandez

First off I want to say that I like the way you put Jesus first! Just taking notes… Everything is real talk. You don't have to verify it in a street way; we know you hood already because you mentioned it in the first chapter (Through My Testimony). Awh, man! You snappin', saying, Fake, crazy, or demon possessed, and backed up by the word… I adore the way that the Spirit came out… I love it! It could've been longer too. Maybe there will be a part 2 in the future.

PS. Keep it up because I will!

—Darrell Rell Porter

Dear readers,

Thank you for seeking the Lord. It's not about me. I am still learning myself. Your input is very important; it is written, As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend (Prov. 27:17). May God continue to bless you as well, and remember, faith comes from other than the Holy Spirit (see Gal. 5:22).

To the author and future readers,

This book is an inspiration to Christian and non-Christian alike the way the author portrays love, faith, and belief in the Word of God is truly accurate in my perception; when reading this book, I, myself, had to reevaluate some of the things in my life so that I could be a better believer and would know true love, faith, mercy, and grace that our Father God gave to us. Jo Love is a terrific writer, and I look forward to seeing this book and many more of his writing on the shelves of bookstores, where Christian books are sold.

—Terrohn Saha Harris

To my parents (Angela and Joseph), who thought they went wrong in my upbringing; my sister (Natasha), who at times feels alone; my son (Geno), who at times feels neglected; my half brother (Joshua), who lost his mother; and a host of other family members and friends. You know who you are. Thank you for not giving up on me.

Introduction

Do you want to experience the miracle of God? Do you want to know more about Him? Do you want to live forever? This book is a guide to truth, righteousness, love, and power. It gives a deeper understanding of what the Word of God is all about, in a direct and sometimes critical way. I, Jo Love, would like to encourage the minds of Christians and non-Christians to not only open this book, but really look into the spirits because we all have them. My realistic perception of grace, love, mercy, and faith is strongly supported by scripture. I've run into people who have read the Bible
