Stemming from the 2010 Desiring God National Conference, this volume explores loving God with both the heart and the mind, with contributions by Warren, Chan, Piper, Mohler, Sproul, and Anyabwile.

"I found this book to be a fascinating, challenging, insightful, practical, and surprisingly personal discussion of how Christians can grow in both knowledge and love." -Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary "I know most of the contributors of this book pretty well. A couple of them I am glad to call friends. And a couple of them, to be honest, I have found myself at odds with on a few occasions. But that's why I like this book. It shows the possibility for civil discourse, and it reminds us that it's just as important to be nice as it is to be right. Allow it to move you closer to Jesus and closer to the poor. So read it and then-think. love. and act." -Shane Claiborne, cofounder, The Simple Way; author, The Irresistible Revolution
