Synopsis

Winner of the 2020 IAN Outstanding Religion Book of the Year Award

Our world feels more divided than ever. Polarizing politics, racial violence, economic inequity, sickness and suffering continue to leave us grappling with the loss of civility, respect, unity, and hope. Many of us question whether it's possible to cultivate a love big, revolutionary, and radical enough to overthrow hate and heal hurt. Award-winning author and public theologian Jacqueline A. Bussie not only believes it's possible—she knows it's the only path.

In Love Without Limits, now with a new introduction, Bussie imparts practical solutions for people of faith who yearn to love across division, difference, and even death in today's troubled times. Through poignant personal memoir, engaging theological reflection, inspiring true stories of transgressive friendships, creative readings of scripture, and surprising shout-outs to some of love's most unsung teachers, Bussie challenges listeners to answer God's call to practice a love so deep, it subverts the social order; so radical, it scandalizes the powerful; so capacious, it excludes no one.

Goodreads review by Ellie on August 21, 2018

This is more than a book. It’s a meditation, a prayer, a letter, a guidebook to living in love and forgiveness where hatred and division seem most powerful. Love Without Limits is courageous, hopeful, tragic, forgiving, and uplifting. It's a great comfort to know that in this broken world we can all......more

Goodreads review by Paula on August 18, 2018

Bussie handles heavy issues with a light pen and accessible language. She tackles tough subjects like family dysfunction, grief, abuse and the political divide head on, not looking for easy answers but rather honestly wrestling with how we love without limits. She is open, honest and theologically s......more

Goodreads review by John on April 24, 2019

This is the 2nd book by Jacqueline Bussie, a religion professor at neighboring Concordia College. Her first book, OUTLAW CHRISTIANITY, was published by a more evangelical press, but they balked at some of the ideas that she promotes in this book and refused to publish it. Luckily, a Lutheran press,......more

Goodreads review by Steve on August 14, 2018

Tears of recognition and resolution, nods of insight, clarity of sight and delight in the author's vivid word pictures that inspire from the middle of trash heap. I can feel my heart and hope expand beyond what I thought were their capacity...THIS is the Big Bang...the ever-expanding embrace of life......more
