A Love Worth Giving : Living in the Overflow of God's Love

Description of A Love Worth Giving:

God loves you. Personally. Powerfully. Passionately. Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love. And His love--if you will let it--can fill you and leave you with A Love Worth Giving. Best-selling author Max Lucado has successfully pricked the hearts and minds of readers for decades. Now, he boldly says that before we can pass love on, we must receive it ourselves--from God. Pointing out that we must “love one another,” Lucado issues an impassioned plea to accept God’s love in order to truly, unselfishly, wholeheartedly love another. God wants us to drink deeply of His love, soak it up, and marvel at its depth.

Description of Max Lucado, author of A Love Worth Giving:

Loving people isn't easy. The vow-breakers, truth-benders. The money-grubbers and backstabbers we meet, work with, and marry. How do you love someone who is hard to love? Our typical strategy is to try harder. Conventional wisdom says that a lack of love implies a lack of effort, so we dig deeper, strain more. We're going to love if it kills us! And it may do just that. Could it be we are missing a step? Could it be that the first step of love is not toward them but toward Him? After all, you can't give what you don't have.In A Love Worth Giving, Max Lucado explores what he calls "the forgotten first step for relationships." The secret to loving, he says, is living loved. A marriage-saving love is not within us. Friendship-preserving devotion cannot be found in our hearts. We need help from an outside source. An transfusion. Are you low on love? Down to your last dose of forgiveness? Scraping the bottom of the barrel of patience? You may be trying to give what you've never received. And you may be holding just the message you need to help you receive it. Abridged. Read by Mike Flynn. 2 CDs. 140 minutes.
