Nicole Washington
When I Love You Is a Lie
Stop Calling It Love
Coming Soon
Through the life of Jesus, discover God's unchanging definition of authentic love — and how to tell it apart from the control that only wears love's name.
About This Book
Three words. The ones you've waited to hear, held your breath for, convinced yourself would mean the fight was finally over — that you were finally seen. But somewhere along the way, "I love you" stopped meaning love and started meaning control, manipulation, and pain you've learned to call normal.
Pastor Nicole names the counterfeits with rare clarity and holds them up against the real love of God — a love that doesn't exploit, doesn't confuse, and doesn't wound. You were never meant to survive love. You were meant to be healed by it.
It's time to stop accepting less. It's time to stop calling it love.
"You were never meant to survive love. You were meant to be healed by it."
— Nicole Washington, When I Love You Is a Lie
