In an age when “love” is easily used as an empty slogan within both culture and church, Knight’s work is a sobering, hopeful, and joyful reminder of the profound Christian claim that love involves true transformation because its source and future is God. This book has the capacity of enchanting its readers anew in the beauty of the Wesleyan theological vision and of making a compelling case for its extension in the midst of the challenges we face today.
--Daniel Castelo, Associate Professor of Theology at Seattle Pacific Seminary and University

Judiciously worded and highly informed, Hal Knight has given us an intensely practical book--sound theology for the church. Knight's historical and theological expertise combine with his evangelistic flair to lead readers into a fresh vision of authentic evangelical, Wesleyan theology that challenges at fundamental levels the assumptions governing the lives of church-going Christians. Even more important, he offers a way forward to those would would follow the "more excellent way."
--W. Stephen Gunter, Associate Dean and Research Professor of Evangelism and Wesleyan Studies, Duke Divinity School

Hal Knight’s newest book is a decisive Wesleyan contribution to the question of how to reorder distorted human affections, desires, and hopes toward the coming reign of God in a racialized, consumerist, and narcissistic world. Readers across the evangelical spectrum will want to hear this voice crying out amid the North American wilderness.
