A Book Review of

Love Without End :Jesus Speaks

by

Glenda Green

LOVE WITHOUT END: JESUS SPEAKS by Glenda Green is among my favorite of all books. My first copy was a paperback. Within a couple of years it was so dog eared with page markers and sections repeatedly read, that despite its solid construction it began to fall apart. So recently I have purchased a hard copy of the tenth revised edition.

I have not found it in the local bookstores I frequent. Why - I don’t know. Could it be reference to Jesus? So much has happened and ‘been done to us’ in the name of Jesus. I think the name Jesus has been so misused that it confuses us.

That is one thing I like about this book. In it he speaks for himself. What he has to say is stunningly interesting. How is it that he has come to speak for himself? Well now there is a story!

In a nutshell, it is like this: Glenda Green is a very respected and well-established portrait painter and scholar. Despite her initial resistance, she is guided to paint a portrait of Jesus. Much to her surprise he shows up to ‘sit’ for it daily for three months. They have conversations and she meticulously records these conversations each evening. Now I admit that I can’t know that this story is true.

What matters is not how this book came to be, but the message it offers. Glenda is very intelligent and articulate. Yet there is a clear distinction between her thoughts and contributions and what Jesus says. What he says is…..sublime – with a vibration of LOVE and intelligence unto itself.

I have never read such clarity, such love articulated. The chapter on the intelligence of the heart is riveting.

When I read books that I plan to keep, I highlight or underline parts I find deeply inspiring. In LOVE
WITHOUT END, I found myself highlighting almost every word attributed to him, whoever Jesus is.

It is a book I continue to re-read and re-read. With each reading something deeper wakes up in me. The source of the message in this book is LOVE, PURE LOVE. PURE LOVE articulated with awe-inspiring elegance and beauty that opens the heart.
