It is a joy to know that Dana is a true intercessor and a passionate lover of Jesus. Almost daily I speak with people who have suffered through the worst terrors this world can throw at them, but whose faith and joy in Jesus remain stronger than the grave. This hope is the most real thing on earth! It is for everyone, in every nation, and I pray every reader of this book will be encouraged to live from the secret place of prayer so that they may also stand in the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Heidi G. Baker, Ph.D., co-founder and executive chairman of the board, Iris Global
Do you want a love that burns bright from beginning to end? With specific action steps and thoughtful prayer prompts, First Love equips you to say yes to Gods invitation to a life marked by confident trust, deep-rooted joy and a love that overflows and impacts all that you do!
Jodie Berndt, bestselling author, Praying the Scriptures for Your Children
There is nothing more sacred than our hearts flame of first love for Jesus. This book by Dana Candler is the perfect antidote to the epidemic of apathy that constantly threatens our souls health. Her vulnerability as well as the revelation mined from her own years of pursuit after Gods heart is exactly what is needed in our day. I cannot recommend her or this new message enough.
Lee M. Cummings, founding senior pastor, Radiant Church and Radiant Network; author, School of the Spirit: Living the Holy Spirit Empowered Life
Dana Candler is a deep-hearted lover of Jesus who possesses a deep well of revelation from years spent in intimate conversation with Him. God is speaking to the Church right now about wholehearted communionwith Him and our brothers and sisters. Dana declares these truths with impassioned boldness and clarity. First Love will compel you to step headlong into love for God and others at a depth that will prepare you to live wholeheartedly at the end of the ages. I encourage you to read with your Bible open and a pen in hand and allow the Lord to take you into the depths of His love afresh.
Billy Humphrey, director, GateCity Church
The Bride of Christ worldwide will be praying Song of Solomon 8:6 continually in preparation for the return of her Bridegroom Jesus. Saturated for years in the language and heartbeat of this bridal paradigm, Dana imparts like few others this wisdom and passion in her most timely book, First Love .
Lou Engle, president, Lou Engle Ministries
What kind of wholehearted love does the cross invite? I know no one more capable of guiding our hearts in this quest than Dana Candler. For over twenty years, Ive watched her live the message of this book. She shows us that first love is not our destination but rather just the beginning. If you want a burning love for Jesus, this book will strengthen your confidence in the One whoin Danas wordsnever starts a fire and walks away.

To my beloved Matthew: We were in our twenties when we caught a vision to see His beauty, but the decades have taken nothing of the holy aching from your eyes or heart. Run with all your might, me right beside you. We have only seen the edges....
And to Madison, David, Avila and Phoebe: Youve been given a great gift in the hour in which you live. When darkness increases, so too will the erupting light of His glory, for all who treasure it. Set your heart with greatest zeal to search and find Jesus as your gold and single passion, and He will set a fire in you that cant be quenched. He who holds the seven stars in His hand holds the fire in your hearts to the end.

Notes
About the Author
Back Cover
T he landscape of the world today is not what it used to be, and we are never going back to how things were. In an hour when many are focused on self-help, positivity or simply just surviving present tense difficulties, Dana Candler directs our attention beyond: to both the impending storm of increased pressuresin which many believers hearts will grow gravely cold in their passion for Jesus and love for othersas well as to the magnificent biblical revelation of our ultimate destiny. Jesus is bringing forth His Church to abound in triumphant, tender and unoffendable love.
I believe this book to be one of the most significant books you could read in this hour of history, empowering your present pursuit of Jesus or calling you back from wherever you may have drifted, and giving you the needed path forward in walking in your highest calling: to establish the first commandmentto love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strengthin first place in your heart. This important book serves as an arresting rallying cry to the heart of every believer to break any allegiance they have with the snare of lukewarm living and to fervently contend with all their strength to live out their days touching Jesus passion for them and then burning in an unquenchable loveeven through the fiercest testing or trouble.
In nearly fifty years of ministry, I have watched so many start out fiery in their love for God only to gradually lose that fervor, and then accept that loss as an inevitable trajectory of a normal Christian life. If it is not intentionally and zealously fought for, not only will we lose our former devotion to Jesus, but we will be profoundly unprepared and ill-equipped in the very time frame of human history in which God has purposed that we would break forth with the light of victorious love in a dark world.
