About
John Lockett is a pastor, writer, and gifted communicator with a heart for the broken and the weary. As senior pastor of BridgePointe Baptist Church in Magee, Mississippi, He leads with authenticity, compassion, and bold Gospel truth.
Known for his tender yet unflinching voice, John writes from a life shaped by surrender and the costly love of Christ. Love Will Cost You Everything is his debut book - and his most personal work.
What if the deepest kind of love demanded your deepest kind of surrender?
LOVE WILL COST YOU EVERYTHING is not just a book - it's a wake-up call. In a world that prizes comfort, convenience, and conditional relationships, Pastor John Lockett dares to explore the kind of love Jesus talked about - the love that heals, breaks, rebuilds, and transforms... but only at a cost.
Through powerful storytelling, raw vulnerability, and unflinching biblical reflection, John invites you on a journey to uncover:
-
Why real love will challenge your assumptions and your comfort.
-
How God uses grief, loss, and silence to mature your faith.
-
What it looks like to love people who can't or won't love you back.
-
How to walk with God when His ways feel hidden or hard.
-
Why surrender is not a sign of weakness - but the beginning of freedom.
This is not a book of quick fixes or feel-good faith. It's for those who are tired of spiritual cliches and hungry for something real. Whether you're in a season of heartbreak, healing, or hiddenness, this book will meet you there - and point you to the One who still says, "follow Me."
