El amor como forma de vida (Love as a Way of Life) Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This is a beautiful and very useful book from the author of The Five Love Languages. He expounds on seven traits or characteristics of loving people, and how we can better live out those traits in our lives and improve our relationships and our peace. Wonderfully useful book that really dovetails with much I have been reading lately from latter-day prophets and apostles, and Charlotte Mason. "

" Love this and try to be this way, but reading his book helps me with it. :) "

" I skimmed through every page of this book and noticed that while covering such topics as forgiveness and humility he did not reference any Scripture nor mention Christ until the last chapter of the book, where he talks about serving as Christ did when he washed the disciples feet. I am disheartened that he would write an entire book about love and hardly reference the Bible at all. We cannot teach goodness and virtue apart from the authority of Christ and his Word. We have no good apart from him. Though some of what he says may be helpful, I don't think I'll be reading a book by this author again. "

" I wish everyone would read this book. If they took just one thing from it, the world would be a better place. "

" Great book on learning how to live with love and to change the way people react to you. and how to get what you want by showing love. "

" THis book is a self-help book. Like most sel-help books it asks you to think deeper and find true meaning for the important thing is you life. "

" As a habit, I don't read self help books, but this one caught my eye at the library. I had to check it out a few times to read it through, since I couldn't seem to stick with it. But, I have read most of it, all except the end which I intend to read soon enough. What I learned from this book was not that eye opening. I believe that after reading this book another person might see where they could be more loving, but most days I think I follow these principles very well. They are very simple and strait forward ideas about forgiveness, kindness, patience, courtesy etc. There were many anecdotes that I found very interesting, and quotes in bold to simplify chapters. At then end of each chapter was a list of questions one is meant to ask of oneself, but I didn't even bother looking at them. Over all I would recommend this book to someone who has anger in their life, and wants to overcome those things and heal from hurt caused by another. When time passes and when a person is ready to be a loving person, they might find this book helpful. "

" I have read the 5 Love Languages for Children and learned so much from it. I am anticipating that this will be full of good insights. "

" Took tons of notes. Love Gary Chapman's books. This one gave me a lot to think about. "

" This book has concrete examples of how to be more loving in our society but I finally just gave up on actually reading the book. I decided that I could learn just as much about love and kindness from the scriptures or conference talks and that would be a better use of my time. "

" This book was very eye-opening and even convicting. Chapman dissects and analyzes love, while giving practical suggestions for putting it into practice. I have read many of his books and am never disappointed. "

" I think it might have had more impact on me if I'd read it when I was younger. As it is, I found it rather simple, but a good reminder of the sort of character traits I do want to have. "

" Good idea but poorly organized and written. Full of stories with little depth. He does not seem to know the difference between kindness, patients and curtsy as he discusses them in similar terms. "

" Instead of focusing on how to change your bad qualities, this book shows you how to focus on your good qualities. I think everyone could use a refresher on how to conduct one's life in a loving manner. "

" Another excellent book from Gary Chapman. I listened to the audiobook that was read by the author and I enjoyed his southern accent! This book really makes you think about what it means to be a loving person. "

" Excellent book! Recommended reading for anyone. "

" Sure liked this book. It correlates with Chapman's other book, "The Five Love Languages". It's just nice to be uplifted and motivated to love other people, especially loved ones no matter the circumstance. Chapman is a Christian other who shares a wonderful view about Love (or Charity). "

" His best book yet. This book provides the foundation for his others and gives the reader some real challenges to set goals for improving character traits. "

" Most of the ideas were common sense, but I liked it anyway- it is written by the author that wrote the 5 love languages. "

" What a great book that should be read more than once. "

" I am on chapter 9,the chapter about love in marriage. "

" I thought this book was great. It helped me to put things into perspective and how to love even when you don't feel like it. I really like Gary Chapman's books. "

" Could be #12 of my top 10 :) "

" Wonderful read that inspires change in me! "

" Another look at love by the guy who wrote the love languages book. It wasn't as life altering as the five love languages but it gave me a fresh outlook on how to better love the people in my life. "

" This was a great book to really find out where you could do a better job of showing people love. It goes through the different characteristics of love and how you can put them into action in your own life. I was able to see for myself where I could do a better job on each area. "

" Good idea but poorly organized and written. Full of stories with little depth. He does not seem to know the difference between kindness, patients and curtsy as he discusses them in similar terms. "

" I thought this book was great. It helped me to put things into perspective and how to love even when you don't feel like it. I really like Gary Chapman's books. "

" Great book - used it along with The Five Love Languages to teach a Faith & Family class...there was much more substance in this book - well written, great examples and great fodder for faithful living through the love of Christ. "

" Excellent book! Recommended reading for anyone. "

" I really liked this book. It has activities to do at the end of the chapter and it includes examples of what people have done to represent honesty, respect, forgiveness etc.I felt peaceful reading it. "

" I couldn't get into this book. The last chapter said the most to me. We read it for LifeGroup. "

" Another excellent book from Gary Chapman. I listened to the audiobook that was read by the author and I enjoyed his southern accent! This book really makes you think about what it means to be a loving person. "

" This so far, is the best book on LOVE and relationships that I have read; I love the questions it asks throughout; the journaling opportunities (i hope i take them!). I want to read it w/ Ted and also with my bookclub. It is life-changing and thus, world-changing. "

" Quite literally one of the most impactful books I have ever read. I really feel like it changed the way I look at the world, and has helped me improve my relationships with others. Please read this book "
