In his book, Love as a Way of Life, Gary Chapman identified seven characteristics of a loving person: kindness, patience, forgiveness, courtesy, humility, generosity, and honesty. This devotional book of the same title, provides approximately 11 daily devotionals on each of the seven topics, along with some introductory and concluding devotionals on love as a way of life.
Each devotional includes a Scripture verse at the beginning, a challenge regarding some aspect of the quality being discussed, and then a closing “thought” or “prayer.” Overall, the devotionals are easy to read, concise, and stimulating. There is not much “fluff” and the theology is solid… not always a common combination in a devotional book, especially on this topic. Some readings include a short illustration/story, and generally these are well-chosen.
Overall a solid devotional book for any adult. As part of the blog tour, I was sent two copies of the book. Simply post a comment on this page and I will be glad to send one copy of the book to you... yes, that means you'll need to include either a mailing address for me to send the book too or an email address so I can contact you and make arrangements.
