True stories, of course. We learn from stories, our own and other's stories. Each story will illustrate some aspect of love. There are so many facets to love! So many ways to love, and so many ways to express it. This book is for those who want to become a more loving person, without becoming Mother Teresa. You don't have to aspire to greatness, just seek to walk through each day with love in mind. In this way, you will patiently grow your stores of love and have more to enjoy and more to share. "Live a Life of Love" was birthed from my own very real struggles to learn how to love. In my younger years, I felt very alone, empty, unloved and unloving, and unaware of life's meaning. The turning point for me was when I decided to embrace a connection with God, for God is love. Still, how to love remained a mystery to me. I was raised in a cold place, but I wanted to live in a warm place. I was raised with a famine of affection, but wanted to serve a feast of affection, affirmation and kindness to my own family and friends. After meeting the author of love, my life became a quest to be a lover of God, myself and others - to learn how to effectively and extravagantly love all in my life, even those who sometimes make it hard to love them. One of the more difficult lessons was learning to love myself. But it was a key lesson. In this book we explore what it means to follow the great commandments of love: to love God, love yourself and love others. I am writing from a Christian perspective, but I believe anyone can find principles and guidelines in this book that will help them understand real love and learn to express it more freely. The book is designed to be used as a personal journey or in a group study session. At the end of each chapter, I've included a relevant quote, Bible verse and prayer to help you implement what you just learned in that chapter. Many people read a chapter a day and use the book as one would a devotional. It is also an excellent resource for use in Bible study groups or book clubs. Questions for group discussion are included for each chapter.As the songs say, what the world needs now is love, sweet love. All we need is love. Love is a many-splendored thing. And we all want to know what love is. Let me help you see more clearly what love is. Buy this book and learn more about living a life of love!
