U Got 2 Love - Fr. Stan Fortuna

U Got 2 Love is a book written primarily for teenagers and young adults. The purpose of this book is the all time truth that in order to receive love you must love but then again in order to love you must be able to receive love as well. There would be several great uses for this book. It would be perfect for a reading group, a daily study or even just to flip through on any given day.

U Got 2 Love is a big gift in a small package. Fr. Stan has packed this little book full of related biblical passages and gems from the published works and speeches of everyone from Pope John Paul II to Lenin at the end of his life. The book is rather fast paced and I found myself wanting to jump ahead which is not always good because you miss valuable information. I found this to be a great book to read and re-read over and over again.

Fr. Stan tackles all forms of love from our Fathers love to romantic and even painful love. Love is not always patient and it certainly is not always kind but through the wisdom of these pages you can find your way traversing this sometimes confusing path of love.

I cannot say that this was an easy read for me because it certainly wasn't. However, sometimes the greatest lessons in life come from challenging tasks. The accent Fr. Stan chose to write with in this book is fun, charming and helps keep a smile on your face throughout! I still flip through the pages of this book and re-read the gems that are sprinkled throughout this book on almost every page.

The Jesus You Can't Ignore - John MacArthur

The Jesus You Can’t Ignore written by John MacArthur is a spiritual journey into the often overlooked parts of Christ’s ministry. Modern Christianity has turned a little soft as time goes by. Society teaches tolerance of all things, all peoples and often time all actions. This book delves deep into the realistic approaches of Jesus and his approach to religious sinners. We all know that Jesus helped sinners, treated them with love and respect and did not shame them. He really wanted to help and after all, that’s what it’s all about!




However, when it comes to false preaching and attempts to reach political or financial gain by false teachings, Christ had a much different approach. There is no love or respect there because it was and is unacceptable to him.



This was a very difficult book for me to read. I believe it is a much more deep book than I generally chose for myself for leisurely reading but definitely makes you think. Sometimes we learn much more through difficulties right! Our culture does not accept intolerance but when you look at what is happening to our society, our families and our government, perhaps it is time to express that we will not tolerate certain things.
