Book Description

Are you totally, happily, lovingly and completely satisfied with the way your life is going? If you’re not, or if you want to know more about life and love, you have picked the right book to read. In order to live a joyful, peaceful, and loving life with one’s self and with others we must first learn to let go of old, negative attitudes and habits that are inhibiting our ability to love and learn and practice positive and loving attitudes and habits that will bring joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, goodness, gentleness and self-control into our lives. This book is based on precepts given to us by none other than The Great Author of Life Himself, Almighty God through His Son, Jesus Christ, who taught me how to truly love. This is not another manual on love, marriage or inter-personal relationships but rather a guide to loving oneself which in turn leads us to love, first God, than others as we love ourselves, for it is impossible to love others unless we love ourselves first. And it is impossible to love ourselves as God loves us unless we love God with all our hearts, with all our minds, and with all our souls for God is Love.

Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this refreshing and inspiring memoir, Lauren Akins, the wife of country music star Thomas Rhett, shows what it’s really like to be “the perfect couple” fans imagine, and reveals what it actually takes to live in love, stay in love, and grow together. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PARADE When country music star Thomas Rhett won the ACM Award for Single of the Year with “Die a Happy Man,” his wife, Lauren Akins, was overjoyed. Her childhood best friend and now husband was being anointed the hottest new star in country music—for a song he had written about her. He was living his dream. Lauren was elated, but she was also wrestling with some big questions, not the least of which was, How can I live my own life of purpose? Lauren Akins never wanted to be in the spotlight, but as Thomas Rhett made his relationship with Lauren the subject of many of his hit songs, she was tossed into the role of one of America’s sweethearts. Revered by fans for her down-to-earth ease and charm, her commitment to humanitarian work, and the pure love she exudes for her family, Lauren has never shared her side of their story—full as it’s been with deep love, painful loss, tremendous joy, and a struggle to stay grounded in faith along the way—until now. In Live in Love, Lauren shares details about her childhood friendship with Thomas Rhett, explaining how they reconnected as young adults. She offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of being married to her best friend, who just happens to be a music star, and the struggle to find her own footing in the frenzy of her husband’s fame. And in heart-wrenching detail, she opens up about her life-changing experiences doing mission work in Haiti, and then in Uganda, where she met the precious baby who would become their first daughter. From sharing the romance of their handwritten wedding vows to the challenges they faced as they adjusted to the reality of becoming first-time parents, Live in Love takes an intimate look at one couple’s life—and opens a window into all of our journeys on the path to self-discovery. Live in Love is a deeply personal memoir that offers inspiring guidance for anyone looking to keep romance alive, balance children and marriage, express true faith, and live a life of purpose.

Despite being part of one of the most mobile societies in history, it's easy for us to feel stuck where we are.

With enthusiasm and contagious joy, Shauna Pilgreen assures readers that, yes, God does have a plan and a purpose for them--right where they are. In fact, he sent them there. She invites readers to "live sent," showing them how to see their surroundings with fresh eyes and renewed energy. Weaving her own remarkable story with biblical habits readers can incorporate into their daily routines, Pilgreen equips us to reach out into our communities with God's love, knowing that our efforts are never in vain.

Book Description

An award-winning actress. A soldier’s wife. A cancer survivor. A college student. What these women—what all of us—have in common is a need for love: to give it, to receive it, to express its many aspects. Now Andrea Buchanan, who Cosmopolitan called the “girl power guru,” follows her first collection, Note to Self, with a new compilation of thought-provoking, illuminating, often poignant essays on love written by some of America’s most fascinating and vibrant women. Join author and cancer survivor Kelly Corrigan, describing why her most romantic fantasy now involves sitting on the sofa opening the mail; journalist Giselle Fernandez, sharing why, even though the journey can sometimes end painfully, an adventure in love should never be passed up; Afghanistan war widow Marie Tillman on learning to open her heart again after the devastating loss of her husband, Pat; celebrity stylist Tameka Raymond on the challenges of marrying the rap star Usher in the glare of the public eye; and college student Jaclyn Katz on how her “perfect” traditional family fell apart, and her mother’s brother and his partner gave her back the stability that could have been lost forever. These courageous women have portrayed their own innermost emotions and laid bare their own experiences for readers to learn from, laugh at, and lean on.

If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would you call? What would you say? Why are you waiting? Richard Carlson's sudden, tragic death in December 2006 left his millions of fans reeling, but even their many letters, calls, and emails couldn't erase the loss felt by his wife, Kristine. To try and come to terms with her loss, she pored over 25 years of love letters, reliving the memories and cherishing her late husband's memory. But one letter stood out. Richard had written to his wife on their 18th wedding anniversary and attempted to answer the question: if you had one hour to live, what would you do, who would you call, and what would you say? An Hour to Live, an Hour to Love is a profoundly moving book that shows the importance of treasuring each day as the incredible gift it is.

Now sixteen years old, Beth Weber is resourceful, a blossoming artist, and a spitting image of her birth mom. To say Jackie is stunned is the understatement of the year.

But when Susan and Beth need a place to stay and end up back on Jackie’s doorstep, their lives change forever. Will these three women who share a past and face an uncertain future be able to forge a life of love together?

You will learn how to receive the love you need, how to feel love, give love, express love, and grow in love. While becoming more loving, you will also become more loveable.

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!

Book Description

A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR CULTIVATING SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION-IN THE WAYS OF JESUSFor those who long for real transformation and hunger to experience God's goodness in a way that changes their daily experience of life, author Brandon Cook offers a guide for authentic transformation in Christ. With 52 readings, you can read this over the course of a year or at your own pace, individually or in a small group. Learning to Live and Love Like Jesus will help you understand what transformation is and how it actually happens. At the heart of this book, you will see how Christian discipleship is about living for others in new ways and being empowered to love as Jesus loves. Cook applies his experience working for several transformational Christian ministries and from pastoring a local church for over a decade, where he learned how to help people relate to God, self, and others in whole and healthy ways. Having wrestled for over 20 years with the challenges of sustainable character formation, he has written this "long-soaking" resource-one that takes time to sink in, yet produces genuine life change. Search no longer for a practical roadmap of transformation. If transformation has felt inaccessible or too "mystical" for you, and if you're looking for a resource to ground your life in Christian discipleship, read this book from The Bonhoeffer Project's co-founder. It will help you engage God through practices and habits that have the potential to change your life. You'll walk away with a fresh sense of God's presence, hope that leads to new possibilities, and a vibrant sense of purpose and mission in the world.
