Synopsis

Each day involves countless interactions with others–not only among family and friends but also with neighbors, coworkers, even telephone solicitors. An attitude of love may ot be your top priority in some of these encounters. But what if the ancient maxim “love your neighbor as yourself” applied to everyone, including those you meet in the most ordinary circumstances?

By giving love, instead of grabbing for it, you’ll become the person others want to love in return, no matter what their role in your life.

Relationship expert Dr. Gary Chapman applies the seven characteristics of authentic love to family life, friendship, the workplace, and beyond. Eye-opening personal assessments uncover relational strengths and weaknesses, while real-life stories and ideas for building habits of love will inspire you to grow into the complete person you were meant/created to be.

Capture a vision that will transform your relationships and make your corner of the world a better place–by choosing Love As a Way of Life.

Includes questions for personal reflection or group discussion.

Goodreads review by Debby on July 23, 2012

I chose to read this book b/c I wanted to know what Gary Chapman had to say about loving as a way of life, especially when it's hard or let's say, not so easy. I mean who wouldn't want to learn how to love better? However, it's one of those subjects that you think about but never get around to figur......more

I love the way Gary Chapman always presenting practical stuff we can do. In this book it covers basically how to serve others through patience, love, kindness, courtesy, forgiveness, humility and generosity. It is anti-culture however being holy is being anti-culture. I like this book a lot. It moti......more

Goodreads review by Martyna on August 01, 2023

Baigiau skaityti ties skyriumi apie atleidimą. Kaip geruosius atlaidaus žmogaus pavyzdžius autorius (kuris, beje, pastorius) pateikia istorijas, kai nuolat engiami ir skaudinami žmonės toliau rodo šiltus jausmus savo skriaudėjams bet kokia kaina ir taip tarsi demonstruoja tikrąją tyrą ir nepalaužiam......more

Goodreads review by Sotiris on July 30, 2017

Some previous books had lots of preaching and mixing Christianity, so I was a bit sceptical but this book is fantastic. Has none of the religious brainwashing and is all about behaviours that we need to develop or to avoid. Highly recommended in order to remind our self what love is all about.......more

Quotes

Advance Praise for LOVE AS A WAY OF LIFE

“Chapman follows up his five-million-copy bestseller The Five Love Languages with this wise, heartfelt guide to cultivating seven traits that lead to loving relationships. Whereas his work on love languages explored the primary ways people give and receive love, this book explores the nitty-gritty of an entire "attitude of love," with chapters on kindness, patience, forgiveness, courtesy, humility, generosity, and honesty. Each chapter includes quizzes, questions for reflection, and ideas for applying that chapter's teachings. All self-help books run the risk of cliché, but Chapman manages to make tried-and-true material feel fresh through carefully chosen examples from his pastoral counseling practice and his own life…. This book is head and shoulders above the bulk of self-help literature precisely because it is not about ‘self’ so much as helping others.”
