This review is from: Five Love Languages, Small Group Study Edition (Paperback)

This book is well written and informative. People should know that it is written by a minister and is highly influenced by the Christian faith. The Bible is the main reference work which is fine as long as people are aware that is what they are purchasing. Regardless of your faith, the book is very good at describing differences in how people relate and interact with one another.
