Foreword
By Bill Johnson
love books about radical faith, great achievements and unusual conquests. I absolutely love being provoked by the kind
of messages that launch me beyond the boundaries of what
has become common. I also love the behind-the-scenes stories
of people who live on the constant edge of what is thought to
be impossible. It feels as though they are summoning me into
pursuing things in God I had never even dreamed of. These
messages awaken something in me that truly makes me feel
alive at a whole new level.
And while What Love Looks Like is a summons from God
to all that I just mentioned, it will hit the reader at a much
deeper place than one might imagine at rst glance. Instead
of problems, assignments and mission being our conquest,
somehow we as the readers become the conquest. And as we
become the conquest of God, we learn rsthand the expression

Foreword
By Randy Clark
ames Goll has been used by God to bring forth an amazing book, one that touches our emotions and builds our
faith. Along with authoring a chapter, James compiled this
book, What Love Looks Like, in which twelve key leaders of
the Church today give us an honest perspective on lifes toughest battles. Most of these leaders I consider personal friends.
Others I have met, and a couple of them are new to me. I feel
privileged to look inside their stories of the darkest times in
their lives and see how God brought them through these seasons.
These amazing, interesting, touching and inspiring stories are
the experiences of pastors and co-pastors, itinerant ministers,
prophets and missionaries. But they are the kind of experiences
all of us could facethe kind common to our humanity. If you
want to know how to face lifes hardest issues and come out
victorious, or if you are going through a hard time yourself
right now, you will nd hope and a basis for sustained faith
in these pages.

Third, I want to thank the Lord for the mentorship and grace
that rest upon Jane Campbell of Chosen Books and the team of
editors, artists, promotions people and administration at Baker
Publishing Group. They are a company of extreme integrity.
Finally, I want to acknowledge the efforts of each of these
Christlike authors. They are all busy in their own sphere of life
and ministry, but they sacriced their personal time to tell their
story and trust me with the stewardship of shaping it into What
Love Looks Like: 12 Leaders Tell When Love Broke Through
Their Darkest Moments. Thank you, each and every one, for
making this a book unlike anything ever done before!

Learning to Love
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who
does not love does not know God, for God is love. . . . Beloved,
if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:78, 11 nasb
We love, because He rst loved us. If someone says, I love God,
and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love
his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has
not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the
one who loves God should love his brother also.
1 John 4:1921 nasb

the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Fathers who
sent Me.
John 14:21, 2324 nasb
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just
as I have kept My Fathers commandments and abide in His love.
John 15:10 nasb
This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as
I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one
lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do
what I command you. . . . This I command you, that you love
one another.
John 15:1214, 17 nasb
