This book looks at 1 Corinthians 13: St. Paul's great hymn of love. As the author says, both St. Paul and the Beatles agree that 'all you need is love'. Roy Williamson with St. Paul asks us to look again at words many of us learnt when we were at school; learnt then filed away as nice ideals. In this book Roy Williamson sets before us St. Paul's words clearly and challengingly with helpful and telling examples from personal experience. This book is well worth reading and re-reading. As God's sons and daughters we are called to be like him and as He is Love so 'all you need is (to be) love'.
