Love is probably the most thrown around word! People use it without thinking of what it really means. Many lovers annoyingly flaunt this word but as they say, action speaks better than words! Love is a verb will make you understand with true meaning what love really is!
THE REVIEW!
Love is a verb by Gary chapman!
From the author of THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES ( I intend to read them all in the near future) , Love is Verb is a true gift to humanity. It is a compilation of true life stories from people from different works of life sharing with us their compelling stories that we may benefit from.
From my primary school days, the definition of a verb that would forever be engraved in my head is that a verb is an "ACTION WORD". Love is a verb helps us see that love is an action word and not just a word that we throw around. I want to add that love is not an adjective. that is only used to beautify or quantify a subject matter! Love is actually a verb! It's an action word. It can be an adjective once in a while but all the time, love is a verb!
Love is a verb will open our hearts to the definition of love anew. If you thought you knew the definition of love, love is a verb will help you redefine love! You will see how to love people without expecting them to love you back in return. You would learn about how a simple kind gesture can change a person's life.
You would read stories of people who passed through really turbulent times and it was through love they carried on. Stories about people who opened their hearts and experienced a higher fulfillment by the most simple acts of love such as giving a stranger a cup of cofee , to bringing in total strangers into your life and learning to love them.
For married couples, You would learn necessary life principles to keep the love flicker burning after the beauty , butterflies in belly , and beautiful feelings usually experienced in the beginning of a marriage fade. You would learn how to experience greater depths of love that supercede what you are currently experiencing.
For friends, you would learn how to stick and maintain relationships better and forever lasting!
Favorite part:
I cannot really mention a favorite part, every word in this book would have to be my favorite. I indeed enjoyed reading every letter! Let me just chip in one of the few things I picked up from the avalanche of lessons ingrained in this book.
You know how many people just go in to marriage and pronounce their vows and don't really know what they are getting into? This book helped me understand that when you say "For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health" you better be ready to commit to it.
I also learnt that love is most shown and deeply experienced when the boats of a relationship are in storm . Its the love that exists in that relationship that keeps the boat still.
You would learn how to care for people you don't have any ties too.
Love is a verb also taught me a profound lesson. I have learnt that life is not a jolly ride. I knew this already though , but love is a verb opened my heart to this more. It also taught me that with the right foundation of love, every relationship would be ready to storm any weather!
Love is a verb has redefined my perspective about love and life ! It has indeed made me a better me. It is a must read for ALL. You better get this book
The next time you want to say "I love you" , Remember that Love is a Verb.

Ps: I want to encourage readers of this blog to read more often! Personally , I have decided to read everyday ! Choice of books also matter. You should have a plan for your life, or at least an expectation. Read books that will guide you in achieving those expectations! Don't just read anything for the sketch of reading, it is what we take in that we usually manifest!
