Description
Book SynopsisThis original, highly readable book poses a clear distinction between our customary form of love, which almost guarantees failure, and higher, more generous ways of loving that can succeed and enrich both individuals and society as a whole. Love That Works draws on history, psychology, and the theology and science of love to offer a proposal on how to be successful in love and romance. It starts by showing why love fails to meet expectations, often ending sadly or even tragically.
Trade Review"I have over thirty books in my library that deal with some aspect of love and without any exaggeration this is one of the finest I have read. This book will become required reading for my students. I know that anybody who wants to experience love at deeper, richer and more meaningful levels will clearly benefit from this wonderful and much needed book." Gary J. Oliver, executive director of The Centre for Marriage and Family Studies."
