• Bishop Curry asks us to love ourselves, each other, and God more fully, and unlike so many others, he actually shows us how. There is no greater calling; no nobler blessing.

  — Rabbi Steve Leder, author of The Beauty of What Remains

• This is a profound and essential book. At once personal and universal, intimate and sweeping, it frames the great question of our time—which is, really, the great question of all time on this side of Paradise—with passion and eloquence. Michael Curry, priest and bishop, plays the prophet in these pages, drawing on his own remarkable life to show us the way we might make our own lives, and the lives of nations, warmer, better, and nobler.

  — Jon Meacham, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Destiny and Power, American Lion, and Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power

• Michael Curry believes in love. Not the kind of love that sidesteps and softens our response to the most brutal realities of our deepest, racist, economic, and human oppression. But rather, like Dr. King and, more importantly, Jesus said; the kind of radical love that may be the only thing that can finally overcome such radical sin. On a personal note, Michael is and does what he says about being a follower of Jesus and the way of God’s overwhelming and overcoming love. Love is the Way is moving, heartfelt, and extraordinarily important. In this fearful time, more than perhaps ever before, the world needs this book because, as Michael says, 'Love dreams visions.'

  — Jim Wallis, Founder and President of Sojourners

• The author’s gentle storytelling and emphasis on the supremacy of the power of love persuades and convicts, making evident why he has become one of the world’s most celebrated and sought-after religious leaders. A powerful meditation on social justice and religion that will engage a variety of readers.
