Product Description
In his first major work since the publication of his phenomenal bestseller The Five Love Languages, Dr. Chapman delivers a powerful plan for whole-life happiness, with simple yet intensive exercises and wisdom for finding the life you have always wanted. The way in which our individual lives are improved, says Chapman, is through improving each relationship in your life: with your parents your children, your coworkers, and your spouse, and for all human interactions that form the foundations of our lives. With breakthrough strategies for developing new ways of accepting and responding to the gift of love, Love as a Way of Life nurtures the essential qualities of Kindness, Patience, Forgiveness, Courtesy, Humility, Generosity, and Honesty. Memorable real-life stories and inspiring advice make this an ideal book to share with others, fostering meaningful conversations about the incredible possibilities that emerge when love becomes a habit. In his previous work, Dr. Chapman brought to light the different ways people express love, but in Love as a Way of Life he reveals that every aspect of your life can be improved by placing love at the center of everything you do. As Rick Warren does in The Purpose Driven Life, Chapman illuminates the profound influence of spiritual insight and understanding on our daily lives.
Using real-life anecdotes, he examines the obstacles and misunderstandings that undermine relationships, and provides quizzes and exercises to help readers evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses. Rich in wisdom and inspiration, Love as a Way of Life is an invaluable guide to creating fulfilling and satisfying relationships and reaping the joys of living a love-driven life.

Encouraged and convicted! December 22, 2008 What a different world this would be if all of us could practise just half of what Gary talks about! Such clear and practical descriptions of how "love" can/should be walked out in our lives. I was encouraged to see reflections of my own life, and convicted of others I need to correct. Not preachy,an easy read, a "keeper"!
changed my world view December 15, 2008 I have rafts of self-help books from which I've gleaned useful techniques and insights, but this book has forced me to make a paradigm shift. I saw that all my previous efforts to improve myself or my relationships were largely self-serving. This book, more than any other, offers practical and compassionate ways of putting my faith into practice. Reading this after his Apologies book was especially enlightening.
How to Be More Loving December 6, 2008 This book is organized so that the reader can use it as a guide with a group study or while working on his/her own self-improvement. Written in a straight-forward, interesting manner, it's a worthwhile read.
Practical and Relevant Info that helps you Love those around you in an Authentic Way October 3, 2008 This book is full of practical, real information to help you love in a very authentic way those you encounter on a daily basis. Plenty of real-life examples provides both ideas and motivation to put real love into your life. Chapman does a fabulous job on this one!
This book is a keeper September 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Gary Chapman does a great job of applying practical advice to areas of life that should be simple but, because of sin, aren't. I enjoyed his way of breaking love into 7 aspects that can be applied as we live, act, think about others and about how we treat them.
