Healing Wounds Hidden in Plain Sight

Dr. Ron Campbell, writing with bestselling author Ron Brackin, makes a simple yet striking case. Love is not a feeling we summon or lose with our moods. It is the very nature of God himself.

Across twelve chapters, the book moves through creation, Paul's description of love in 1 Corinthians, the Song of Songs, shepherds and hired hands, the Trinity, prayer, and the cross.

Each chapter examines the same truth from a fresh angle and ends with Scripture you can return to.

What you will explore

  • God Is Love

    Love is not a what, it is a Who. The steady nature of God himself.

  • Hard Questions

    Why a loving God allows suffering, how the Testaments fit, and what happened at the cross.

  • Live It Out

    Ten Scriptures and simple affirmations to keep close after you read.

Grit and Warmth

“He does not lecture. He tells stories, asks honest questions, and lets Scripture carry the weight, never talking down to you.”

A Trustworthy Guide Through the Heavy Terrain

Most of us were taught that love is an emotion, something that arrives and fades with circumstances. This book gently challenges that idea and offers something steadier in its place.

Dr. Campbell writes from a life that took him from special operations in the South African military to decades in ministry, words with both grit and warmth. He tells stories, asks honest questions, and lets Scripture carry the weight.

If you have ever wondered who God really is or felt distant from a love you could not quite name, this book meets you there with clarity and genuine care.

Value, Insight, and Transformation

A clearer picture of God and, just as importantly, of yourself.

Plain Language

Hard subjects in plain terms: suffering, prayer, the cross, forgiveness, shame, and self-worth.

Stories That Land

True accounts of people who forgave the unforgivable lend the ideas real weight.

Scripture to Keep

Closing pages offer ten Scriptures and affirmations you can live out.

From Military Service to Ministry

Dr. Campbell's range, from special operations to decades in ministry, gives these pages both grit and warmth.

How this book will help you

Whether you carry old wounds, lead others, or feel faith has grown routine, this book offers a path back to love that never runs out.

Emotionally

Practically

Spiritually
