Product Description

Ever since the first human pair craned their necks skyward to bask in a silvery full moon, men and women have rhapsodized about love. We say (and sing!) that love makes the world go 'round, that love is the answer, that all you need is love.You might even say we glory in the power of love. But what is love, really? And if it's so popular, then why does it seem so hard to find?

About the Author
Author and pastor Chuck Smith has spent a lifetime not only pondering the nature of genuine love-God's love for us, our love for God, and God's love poured out through us to others-but also has learned through experience what true love is, what it does, and how it transforms everything it touches. In this rich, encouraging, and deeply practical book, he describes how every one of us can come to experience and share the kind of world-changing love that continuously pours from the very heart of God, the original lover Himself.

Love is Lovely
Honestly, this book is great. It kept my attention the whole time, which is hard to do, and Chuck Smith used scripture like crazy to show what love is. It is important to know what true love is, and after I read this I realized that love is only perfected in Christ. Jesus Christ showed us how. Chuck really gives us the picture of how God has shown us love, and how we can love others in reaction to God's love for us. Chuck gives personal stories of how love changed the course of his life and ministry. Please read this book, I highly recommend it.

True Love
On page 29 of this book, it says: "The love of God goes beyond anything we know on the human plane. You've never experienced such a love. It's a constant love, a pure love, a strong love, a love that overcomes your weaknesses and failures, and seeks only your good and your best. Many times you'll discover God's love the most when you have been at your worst. It is then that you realize how much He loves you."

Now I've read many books on love and faith ... but this one has changed my life!
