Love as a Way of Life

Gary Chapman is an author who reads his own work with skill. With a pleasing Southern accent, he coaches listeners on loving as a way of life by teaching how to identify and apply loving concepts to family life, friendships, and the workplace. Focusing on the characteristics of honesty, forgiveness, generosity, courtesy, humility, and patience, he explains how these attributes improve, enrich, and change lives and relationships, even those devastated by tragedy. Chapman uses real-life anecdotes and personal examples to illustrate his theories. His poignant description of the Pennsylvania Amish shooting illuminates the forgiveness of the parents whose children were killed. Quizzes and exercises give listeners tools to evaluate themselves. Overall, Chapman's inspirational guide helps equip listeners with the skills to develop loving relationships. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
