- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent book on what love is and what it takes to accept love from other and to give it in return. The aspects of love that it deals are connecting, truth telling, healing, letting go, and romancing. This is a book that for me is one that I will want to get and refer to again and again as I seek to grow in the many areas it covers. The authors advice and explanations all made excellent sense to me. It has a Christian persective but that is not overstated I think anyone would benefit from the basic principles it covers. Anyone who feels like they could benefit from forming deeper connections with other people should read this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love is everything . It is the center of one's life ,being, mind and body. Dr. Townsend shows us during the course of the book how to be more loving in the following areas: connecting, truth-telling, healing, letting go, and romance. While reading this it made me think of how I can make myself a more loving person and offer great suggestions that I plan on using in my daily life. I also found helpful the side sayings. for exapmple: Letting go is the ability to surrender and to allow what is real to exist. Letting go means giving up efforts to control mannipulate, or force someone to do something different. It is important to remember love is always there through rain or shine, positive or negative, happy or sad. to be become the person we were meant to be.
