The good life is not the life of wealth and influence; it is a life where belief in the truth and the practice of love are its core values—where success is akin to sacrifice, and status is defined as the least being the greatest. The predominant culture would wrongly label our new priorities as backward or upside-down, but just the opposite is true—when we discover the love of the cross, it turns our lives love-side-up. Love-Side-Up begins by leading the reader to a clear view of Jesus and the meaning and way of salvation. It then explains to the reader how Jesus took away our sin and our obligation to follow the law and replaced it with the command that our salvation comes through belief and our sanctification comes through love.
