We bring a lot with us when reading the Bible. Trey Ferguson asks us to read it again through the lens of love—not as sentiment, but as a commitment to wholeness.

Love Is Good Religion A 30-Day Journey by Trey Ferguson

What if the Bible still has something new to say—not because it has changed, but because we’ve stopped hearing it?

What if the Bible still has something new to say—not because it has changed, but because we’ve stopped hearing it? In Love Is Good Religion, pastor and public theologian @pastortrey05.com takes well-known Bible passages and reimagines them with striking clarity in his own New Living Treyslation.

Is America becoming more secular? What is the future of religion? In a culture saturated with uncertainty, Freud teaches us how to ask the deep questions. Nearly 100 years after original publication, The Future of an Illusion remains one of the most penetrating critiques of religion ever written.

Trey Ferguson: "Five years later, we’re putting (some) Treyslation in print. It’s almost a devotional of sorts. And it’s called Love is Good Religion. You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. But covers can be pretty dope sometimes, can’t they?! Do you want to see the cover of my next book?"
