No principle is more vital than love--the anchor for the two great commandments. These thought-provoking essays explore the deeper dimensions and applications of love. They begin with an exploration of the sources of love beyond the human heart, acknowledging love as a fruit of the Spirit of God. Next follows a study of romantic love that traces its meaning into the very nature of the Divine. Related to this is a profile of family love, and keys to employing "the language of love at home." Finally readers will find a response to the outcry, "How can there be a God of power and love when today's world is an abyss of suffering and alienation?" Writing from religious, philosophical, and personal perspectives, Truman Madsen clothes the principle of love in fresh new meaning.

Starts strong and ends weak,

This review is from: Four Essays on Love (Paperback)
I was in the mood for something a little different that would make me think and this started out strong I felt with the authors research and writings in the opening essay on the sources of love and how he relates it to God and Jesus Christ. Then the next on love and beloved was okay but the last two he was writing over my head and lost me really. So a qualified good read. I loved the first essay so it was worth the book to me.
