I got another book to review for the blog.  This time it’s Gary Chapman’s new one called “Love As a Way of Life.”

Gary Chapman is the guy who wrote the books on the five love languages.  My wife got all caught up in that for a while.  Honestly, I’m not sold on the love languages, and since this new book sort of builds on the love language books, I’m not so crazy about it.  It might be good for you to read; he’s certainly got some good points, but this just isn’t my thing.

Chapman goes through the seven secrets to love:

• Kindness
• Patience
• Forgiveness
• Courtesy
• Humility
• Generosity
• Honesty

Then he gives some practical application for using those secrets in marriage, parenting, and at work.  He had some good points, and some of it made me stop and think about things.  It’d actually make a pretty decent sermon series.

Overall, I guess it was an ok book.  It wasn’t theologically wrong or anything like that, but it didn’t do a whole lot for me.  I’ll pass it on to my wife and see what she thinks about it.
