Love is a Verb: Stories of What Happens When Love Comes Alive
Dr. Gary Chapman has spent his life helping people communicate
love more effectively and in turn build more satisfying and lasting
relationships. His book The Five Love Languages is a regular on the
New York Times Best Sellers list--even after being in print for
fifteen years--and has made the term "love language" a part of
everyday speech.
Love Is a Verb takes his teaching to the next level. Rather than a
typical marriage self-help book filled with lengthy explanations of
principles and techniques, it is a compilation of true stories
displaying love in action. These stories--written by everyday
people--go straight to the hearts of readers, who often say that
illustrations are the most effective parts of a book. Gary Chapman
adds a "Love Lesson" to each story, showing readers how they can
apply the same principles to their own relationships.
