“Love As A Way of Life” by Gary Chapman

Guy Noir Private Eye, September 6, 2008

I can’t say enough good about this book, it has transformed my life!

For too many years, I believed that living (the LDS presentation of) Christ’s gospel was ‘all I needed to do’ to have a happy, productive life, contributing to others, etc. Well….

This book is heavy on both concepts & practical skills, with an approach that isn’t a meaningless series of platitudes. It teaches how to listen to the others hearing, the essentials of being kind, empathetic, etc.

I recommend it to all.
