Love Leads to Liberty Dawn Hanson

What is love? In the eyes of God, love was created as a spiritual gift from Him to receive and give to others, resembling the relationship God has with His children. What many may not understand is that love also opens the door to the liberty to discover and live one's purpose in God's plan in life, free from the constraints of society. Embracing the capabilities to love God and others becomes the gateway to further opportunities to love and resemble Jesus in action and thought. Author Dawn Hanson seeks to educate readers on this spiritual understanding through her new book, Love Leads to Liberty. Once readers know what God's intentions are for love and purpose outside of selfish pursuits, Dawn sees lives will be transformed for the better. Realizing readers will have their own beliefs toward love, liberty and gifts/callings, Dawn starts her discussion by simply defining these terms through use of the dictionary. As readers reach the same point of understanding for these terms, Dawn develops God's definitions for love and liberty from scripture verses (1 Corinthians 13) and biblical stories. What solidifies most the difference between society's views on these terms and God's views comes through in several testimonial moments from the author's life. Whether it was learning about giving love to others through marriages and raising children to her individual calling of love toward others, the author celebrates God's teachings on giving and receiving love that shaped her calling and spiritual gifts. Love may embody several different personas to people, but the best purpose of love is in giving and receiving love as God intended to become as Jesus lived.
