I was thrilled when Noah Bolinder offered me an advanced reader copy of Love Quest. I had read his book My Promise, and had given it a five star review only because that was the highest option, it deserved more. While My Promise was a fiction piece that spoke truths, Love Quest is a non-fiction piece that delves into deep truths. It is certainly not a book that can be rushed through; rather the reader needs time to reflect and let the truths mined from God's Word be synthesized with one's own knowledge of and experience with His Word. I found nothing that contradicted with what I knew, or thought I knew, but I found much that sharpened my knowledge, taking it to a new level. The book also stoked my already growing sense of urgency to help others understand Christ's love for them. Bolinder takes the reader through a logical progression to demonstrate how God uses love and marriage as a type, a model or reflection, to point towards the relationship He desires to have with us through Christ. While the author does not spend words on discussing how Satan has worked to tarnish this, the reader will easily make these inferences. The author does spend words focusing on what is true, right and lovely (see Philippians 4:8). I am very grateful to have received this book without obligation. While all opinions expressed here are my own, I encourage others to read this book and find blessings of their own.
