The Love Languages of God

Rating:
Summary: A true eyeopener
Review: I had heard about the 5 love languages before and I thought I was pretty sure about which mine was. When I saw this book about Gods love languages I was curious, because I have trouble experiencing His love on a daily bases.

Through this book I haven't just learned what my love language is (not the one I thought, but the one my heart speaks) it has also explained so much more to me about human relationships and Gods desire to love us, on a daily bases! And how those two work hand in hand. It has taught me how to show my friends and family that I love them in their language and it showed me different ways that God expresses His love to us. Besides that it challenged me to love those I normally would walk away from because I don't know how to relate to them.

If you look for a theological, religious or an psychological book you are in the wrong place. But if you are looking for a book that will transform you in your heart and mind into a more loving person, to yourself, God and others, this is the best book for it! Besides the Bible of course :-). We all know how difficult it can be to read and understand the bible sometimes, this book will make it easier for you, because you will learn more about the character of God and how He wants to relate to you in your life with your specific needs.

I have read few books like this one that have had a deep impact in my life!

I strongly recommend it to anyone who longs for closeness in their relationships with others and with God!!

Summary: Good foundation information
Review: This book provides insight for relating to others in our lives. The 5 concepts of how we show and receive love are eye-opening. If you take nothing else from this book, that makes it worth the read. I have read many self-help books and believe you will gain new insight from this theory.

However, I do agree with the previous reviewer on information later in the book. The 5 Love Languages concept gets muddled in the final chapters of the book.

Summary: Don't bother
Review: When I first read the original "Five Love Languages" book I kept thinking, "Gee, this should be applied to the various ways we can express our love to God. God certainly desires quality time with us, etc." So I was delighted when I saw that Mr. Chapman had written a follow-up book that seemed to address this topic. But I was disappointed to find out that the main thrust of this book was "How to feel God's love for you" instead of "How to express your love to God." Personally, I'm tired of all these "Get all you can get from God" books. It's not about us, people! Stop being so selfish and thinking about God as your own personal genie in the sky who only wants to bless you. Try blessing Him for a change.

Anyway, I quickly lost interest in this book. It was just filled with a bunch of "endearing" stories about how people figured out how much God loved them. If you're into that then buy this book.
