Jesus told his followers that we would be known by our love, but is that what the body of Christ is reflecting—or have we settled for a counterfeit?
In a world saturated with division, suspicion, and performative kindness, many of us relate to the gap between the love we are called to and what we experience. Perhaps it’s because we have missed that there is a God-defined standard for love:
“My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”
(1 John 3:18)
What is “in truth” love and how can we know if we are settling for something less? This question served as a prophetic nudge from God that led the author to a crucial revelation: Honor is the essential attribute and reliable metric of love as God intended it—and His kids are starved for it.
What began as a cry of frustration became a passionate pursuit for
every son and daughter of God to encounter real love, rooted in truth and authenticated by honor.
That’s the invitation of The Honor Imperative: to reestablish the connection between love, truth, and honor and reclaim what we’ve lost. With bold honesty and biblical depth, Erin C. Stone invites readers on a three-part journey to rediscover, reclaim, and multiply honor as the definitive mark of love as God intended. from and what you do.
