In "One," Deidra Riggs unfolds a transformative exploration of love as the quintessence of Christian discipleship, inspired by Jesus's own testament that love for one another is the hallmark of his followers. This compelling narrative urges us to dismantle the barriers of division—whether erected through harsh words, ideological rifts, or societal labels—and to courageously embody a love that transcends mere action, reaching into the essence of our spoken and unspoken interactions. Riggs invites readers into a profound journey of reconciliation, not by leaning on self-preservation but by emulating Jesus’s radical example of self-sacrifice and unconditional love. Riggs masterfully guides her audience toward the realization that our security in God’s boundless love empowers us to extend grace and forgiveness in ways that can bridge the deepest of divides. Through vivid storytelling and practical wisdom, "One" serves as both a beacon of hope and a practical manual for fostering unity within the church, our families, and the broader community. Riggs challenges us to view love not as an abstract ideal, but as a concrete, daily choice to build bridges, listen deeply, and forgive freely. In doing so, "One" not only illuminates the path to personal transformation but also sketches the blueprint for a more loving and unified world.
