'Where love commits, law contracts; where love forgives, law seeks redress; where love trusts, law asks for obedience. Living becomes a process of bargaining, not of making love real.'

In this second edition of Making Love Real, David Hodges asks whether the 'laws' of Christian Churches encourage or discourage a loving life. He lays bare the difficulties between the Churches as hierarchical institutions and the original intentions of Jesus as presented in the Gospels. He suggests ways that contemporary believers can reconcile their rationality with biblical explanations and allegories written by believers two thousand years ago. Rather than viewing God as a supernatural entity, David explains how each of us can find fulfillment and happiness by making love real in our world.
