From Library Journal

Relationship problems? Drug abuse and addiction? Physical and emotional stress? Adolescent suicide? Divorce? Environmental pollution? World strife? Love is the answer to all of these challenges, assert Jampolsky and Cirincione (authors of Love Is Letting Go of Fear, Celestial Arts, 1981) in this step-by-step guide to achieving the inner peace that will make outer peace possible. Based on principles from A Course in Miracles, the " ' bible' for the New Age" ( LJ 7/89), the program involves moving past our illusions and perceptions; transforming fear, blame, and guilt into love; communicating with love in all our relationships; transforming relationships of control into relationships of freedom; finding peace, love, and happiness within ourselves; forgiving ourselves and others; and achieving holy relationships. This is a "New Age" book from which all readers can benefit. Recommended for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple but powerful message!, April 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Love Is the Answer: Creating Positive Relationships (Paperback)

I first read this book about 7 years ago and at the time it had a transforming effect on my life. Based on the principles of "A Course in Miracles", yet light hearted and easy to read. While the message may seem too simple for those who believe that life is supposed to be difficult, if you apply the principles to your own life without judging them, you will see for yourself that sometimes it's the simple things in life that really make a difference. If you are interested in creating more meaningful relationships then this book will give you the skills you need to do so. Read it with an open mind and you just might find that Love Is the Answer!

This review is from: Love Is the Answer: Creating Positive Relationships (Paperback)

It has been more than a decade since I first stumbled upon this book. I cannot overstate how it has CHANGED MY LIFE ! I gained all kinds of new insights, and was able to see articulated things that I had innately believed, but had never seen validated. For example, there is the theory here that the only true emotions are love and fear. Hard to accept at first, perhaps, but then think about it: anger is a mask, hiding fear of some sort. This book is easy to digest, you WANT to pick it up and read it again and again and keep it handy. It's the kind of book you'll find yourself recommending to friends enthusiastically. The term "New Age" may have fallen out of fashion, but there's nothing mystical about this. It's practical, hands on, and talks about the concepts that everyone must live: forgiveness, trust, love. If you are curious about "The Course of Miracles," here's a good place to start. Or if you just want to know yourself and improve your relationships, you'll find a warm and friendly voice here to guide you.

This review is from: Love Is the Answer: Creating Positive Relationships (Paperback)

I first read this book about 3 years ago. I was 36 at the time. It had been given to me by a friend 3 years prior. As I dusted the worn cover I read ... and read...and read. I finished it in one sitting. Not so easily done being a single Mom with 4 children. I found I really never was alone. None of us ever are. This book ultimatly changed not only my life but all of those I have come in conact with since. I have purchesed several copies for those I love. I strongly believe this should be top on every reading list in every High School and Middle School. For Love really IS the Answer!
