Isekelwe encwadini ethi Ukuthanda uJesu: Ukulandela uJesu ezweni lobugovu, ebhalwe umbhali nomfundisi othengisa kakhulu weLife.Church, uCraig Groeschel.

Unkulunkulu ulubonise kanjani uthando lwakhe, noma amandla akhe? Ibhayibheli likaJesu libonisa izindlela uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngazo nathi, indalo yakhe, ngoJesu Kristu eTestamenteni Elidala neLisha.
