This is the third in a series of episodes entitled The Unlovables.

How did He do that?  And how does He expec...

There are certain people in our lives and communities that are quite difficult to love.  From those that betray and violate our trust to that arrogant know-it-all brother-in-law some people require the very best of our character to love because loving them is complicated by their poor choices and character.  How do you love someone who is self-abs...
