For centuries, people have wrestled with the interpretation of scripture, leading to profound disagreements and deep divisions. Amid these debates, the Bible has often been wielded as a weapon used to alienate, discriminate, and control others. Yet, simultaneously, the Bible has also been a source of profound healing, unity, and liberation, inspiring acts of compassion, justice, and reconciliation. In this thought-provoking exploration, author Bruce Simms draws from his diverse experiences as a theologian, pastor, and former Army soldier to examine how scripture has been misused to harm while illuminating its power to restore and transform. Through personal insights and a deep respect for the sacred text, Bruce challenges readers to confront how interpretations of scripture have been shaped by power, fear, and tradition, often missing the essence of its true message. Rather than focusing on rigid rules and divisive debates, Bruce invites us to look deeper; beyond the words on the page, to discover the heart behind them. He uncovers the profound love and grace woven throughout scripture, reminding us that the central message of the Bible is not control or exclusion but a radical call to love. To love God. To love our neighbors. To embody grace, mercy, and justice in every interaction. This book is a call to a new movement of love, one that steps away from using scripture as a tool for judgment and instead embraces its power to heal and reconcile. Bruce Simms invites readers to rediscover the Bible's true purpose: to inspire a life rooted in compassion, unity, and the radical, transformative love of God.
