Three Books Focusing on Love

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought I would recommend 3 of my favorite books that focus on love:

• Love Does by Bob Goff

“Love Does shares powerful stories coupled with eye-opening truths and empowers anyone who longs for a better world and a richer faith. In this book of compelling stories coupled with eye-opening truths, author Bob Goff shows you a new way to live, a way that’s drenched with the whimsy of God’s love and the spontaneity of following where he leads when he says “Go!” In this book, you learn what it looks like to be secretly incredible and advance God’s kingdom everywhere you are and wherever you’re going.”

• A Love Worth Giving by Max Lucado

“Before we can truly love another, we must receive . . . God’s love! Best-selling author Lucado takes a revealing look at 1 Corinthians 13, illustrating biblical principles with his characteristic warm and winsome stories, and reminding you not of a perfect love you are incapable of giving—but one you cannot resist.”

• Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs

“Discover the Single Greatest Secret to a Successful Marriage. Psychological studies affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It’s the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. Today, you and your mate can start fresh with the ground-breaking guidance that Dr. Emerson Eggerichs provides in this book. His revolutionary message, featured on Focus on the Family, is for anyone: in marital crisis…wanting to stay happily married…who’s feeling lonely. It’s for engaged couples…victims of affairs…pastors and counselors seeking material that can save a marriage. Using Dr. Eggerich’s breakthrough techniques, couples nationwide are achieving a brand-new level of intimacy and learning how to: – stop the Crazy Cycle of conflict – initiate the Energizing Cycle of change – enjoy the Rewarded Cycle of new passion. And if you’ll take this biblically based counsel to heart, your marriage could be next!”
