Whenever we seek to manipulate something we do not understand, we expose ourselves to unknown dangers. Greater Love Has No Man is a characterization of a gross misunderstanding. It is an illustration of the catastrophic result of a presumptuous mind, which sets about to meddle with things beyond its understanding but which it believes it not only understands but can manipulate. When Courtney Willard sets out to manipulate words from the Bible, which he refutes as being the infallible Word of God, being also a self-proclaimed atheist, he has no idea that the end of what he engineers will turn out very different from what he envisioned. In the end, he would inadvertently prove what he sought to discredit: "The natural man does not comprehend the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him. Neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned."

Greater Love Has No Man is a poignant journey into a misunderstanding. One which along the way is fraught with laughter and tears, friendship and enmity, despair, and the resilience of a love which ultimately restores hope.
