  <default_description>When an expert in the law asked Jesus for the greatest commandment, Jesus' reply changed the course of history. With one phrase, Jesus amended the fundamental creed of Judaism and laid the foundation for his life and ministry:   &lt;P&gt;&quot;Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind;&quot; and, `Love your neighbor as yourself.'&quot; (Luke 10:27)  &lt;P&gt;Discover how Jesus' revolutionary creed can transform your life.</default_description>

It will inspire and challenge readers to flesh out what it really means to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbors as ourself.
