As you know by now, I love to read. I'm not much for fiction, but these real stories really get to me. When I initially looked at this book to review, I thought it would be about marriage. I was surprised to find out it was not only about marriage but about the most important relationships in our lives. Honestly, who wouldn't benefit from making our relationships better?
I think anyone and everyone could benefit from reading this book. It is practical in its application, gives many scriptural references and asks tough questions that people really need to think about.
It is made to be used for a four-week (thirty-day) study, and the chapters are relevant to real life. The weeks are broken up this way: The Art of Being All There, The Art of Acting Intentionally, The Art of Risking Awkwardness, and the Art of Letting Go. And then there are daily readings and questions/Challenges. Not only did I appreciate these subjects that were presented in the book, I appreciated the quotes that were given throughout. For instance, "If you are going through hell, keep going. Winston Churchill" (p.105). And "Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it's a small price to pay for living a dream. Peter McWilliams" (p.119). These quotes may seem insignificant or small to some, but to me, they were right on target with life.
I did not use this book as the thirty-day study, but I am seriously considering it. Who wouldn't want to make their relationships better? I know I do. I think we all have a lot of work to do inside our most intimate relationships, and Love At Last Sight gives great tools and information that is useful in everyday life. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
