Rating: Summary: Comments from the spiritual reviewer Review: This book would appeal to readers who want reinforcement of traditional Christian thinking and who don't mind hearing a new version of the same old message. Lucado's inability to probe even slightly below the surface of cliches and the established party line results in a shallow and unsatisfying reading experience. Additionally, Lucado's ideas about love and attack are co-mingled. Ultimately, this confuses the reader about the meaning of love.A Love Worth Giving received a score of 3.875 on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) from the spiritual reviewer.

Rating: Summary: Easy to read, excellent! Review: This is the first Lucado book that I've read and I am enjoying it quite a bit. This book is so easy to read, which is suprising to me as a lot of these christian non-fiction books aren't. The message is clear and well written. I've been inspired to true love towards God and people. I recommend it, and I believe God will use it to redefine to you what love really is, what it means, and stands for.
Rating: Summary: Live Loved in the Overflow of God's Love Review: We Love, because He (Jesus) first loved us. John 4:19
Have you ever tried to Love someone who was difficult to Love? It's not so easy. Has there been a time you had married the wrong spouse, got into the wrong career, or got mixed up with the wrong friends. There's one guarantee that you'll get it right is the One who has unconditional Love gives you a Life-Eternally in a world much better than this life. The first step to true love is not towards otheres but towards Him. Besides you can't give what you don't have. We've forgotten the first step for relationships. The secret-living Loved. It can't be found in marriage or friendship. If you're running low on Love, had your last dose of forgiveness, hit rock bottom on patience. If you tried to give what you haven't received why not try this book to help you receive it.
Lucado takes the best loved scripture, I Corinthians 13 one step at a time. He expands on all the characteristics of Love into the infinite, measureless boundaries of God's Love. If we were to be reminded of how we should or could Love just like Jesus. Taking it one step at a time. Beginning with patience, then kindness all the way to enduring all things where Love NEVER Fails. Rather then a scripture to remind us of Love we can't produce, let it remind us of a Love we cannot resist-God's Love. When you were left at the altar, with a broken heart, an empty bed, broken home, in the hospital. When you're left to say, "Does anybody love me?" Listen to heaven's answer. God loves you. His Love is Personal. With all the Power and Passion He can give. Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love. His Love-if you will let it-can fill you and leave you with a Love worth giving. If anyone is thirsty for His Love--I recommend this!
