Summary: Showing Kindness and Love
Review: A very inspiring book with true and powerful stories showing what God's love can do. A book that I couldn't put down once I started reading. This book tells how a group of people with God's love help meet the needs of thos less fortunate and they did it with love. This world would be a better place to live if everyone would follow Living the Love Chapter. A great book.

Summary: Bringing Kindness and Compassion Out of the Closet
Review: Obnoxious cashiers. Unrelenting telemarketers. Angry drivers. Rude people. Everywhere we go, someone is mistreating someone else. The headlines and the evening news are filled with accounts of man's inhumanity to man. Instances of kindness and compassion are not as readily evident. BUT, they do exist, and bringing some of those accounts to the forefront is what Michelle Adams has done in her book Living the Love Chapter. Living the Love Chapter is about doing just that: Living life in a way that benefits those whose paths cross ours. In 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, commonly called "the love chapter," the Apostle Paul gives a powerful description of what love is and is not, what love does and does not. Using this text as an outline, Adams has collected 15 powerful stories, each one exemplifying one of the characteristics of real love. With an account of the efforts of a group of people to meet the needs of the less fortunate, Adams illustrates "love is kind." With a poignant story of a wife's trust in God to bring her husband home safely from a war zone, she illustrates, "love always trusts." Fifteen stories. All true. All real examples of real love. All worth reading. All worth emulating. All inspiring us to begin Living the Love Chapter.

Summary: One Lesson that Touched Many Hearts....
Review: This book does a wonderful job at touching on the many different levels of love -- the love you have for your mate, the love you have for your children, the love you have for your parents, the love you have for humanity, and the love you have for God. It reveals love in its purest form. My Sunday School class was doing a study on "Dealing with Adversity through Love" (focal passage: I Cor 13) when I stumbled across this book, and it fit in perfectly. I took it in and gave my whole lesson from it! By the end of the lesson, I was taking orders from people in the class who wanted the book, so I had to buy a bunch of copies for the class! I highly recommend this book for anyone, at any stage of love. A must for those contemplating marriage!
