Who really understands love? We can't see love or grab hold of it. We often don't know how to accept love, and we're most afraid of expressing it to others. In this book, Dr. James P. Gills, husband and father, gives substance to love. He doesn't claim to have mastered the art of loving. He simply challenges you to join him in life's ultimate quest. Uncover the essential character of love and discover what real love is under God. Take an in-depth look at the five different types of love used--epithumia, eros, philia, storge, and agape--that summarize the dynamics of love. In addition to these five, Dr. Gills adds two more types of love selfishness and commitment. Each page includes famous and anonymous quotes about love to inspire you. At the end reference pages to Scriptures on love is provided for further study. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

But after reading this book, I have to say that it is in desperate need of a good copy editor. Dr. Gills tries to talk about love and contrast it to selfishness, but the copy is often unfocused and wandering and the reader is unsure where he's headed from page to page. Strangely, all the even numbered pages just have random quotes on the subject of love, that actually distract from trying to follow the flow of the chapters. Although I'm sure his intent with the book is to glorify Christ and edify the church, his readers would be much better served by skipping this book and reading something really worthwhile on the subject like The Four Loves or Sacred Marriage.
