About the Book

Living Jesus' command to love one another will transform your life. We are not talking about a feeling-based or emotional love... and neither was Jesus. We are talking about an action-based love; a radical love that stretches the bounds of comfort and rational thinking. It's the kind of love that can change the world.

A Message of Reconciliation

We are going to look at five specific ways that Jesus instructs  his followers to love. Your challenge is to try it out, put it into practice, and see what happens. Each challenge asks you to break through a barrier common in most people's lives with an uncommon act of love. Through this journey, you will see what happens within the people you love and what happens within you.

“Ryan has given us a practical guide to understand as well as to practice true spirituality.”

Joe Tosini, Founder, John 17 Movement

Bishop Peter Smith, Portland, Oregon

“Thank you Pastor Ryan for this  timely message. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. I am  now reading it again and putting into practice the five challenges.”

About the Author

Ryan Nuñez is the lead pastor at Palm Valley Church in the Phoenix west valley. He earned a PhD in materials science at Arizona State University, but like his father and grandfather, always felt the call to full-time ministry. That call and passion for reaching people far from God led Ryan and his wife, Adrienne, to join three other couples in starting Palm Valley Church. Over the last 20 years, Palm Valley Church has grown to become one of the largest churches in the Phoenix metro area.
