More About This Book

Overview

This I Believe On Love

In this book, you'll discover a diverse and engaging collection of essays about love written by men and women of all ages and from all walks of life. From the uplifting to the poignant, these essays explore the many facets of love and show what is perhaps the most powerful and universal of human emotions at work in the joys and sorrows of everyday lives.

"I believe that love is not found in the mind or the heart. Love is found in the hands. Love is in the nightly back scratch I give my wife. My wife kneading the dough, that's love. Love is in the hand that crafts, sculpts, sews, caresses, soothes."
—John Samuel Tieman, Missouri

"My husband's death affected our family greatly, but his life impacted it more. He will live as long as one of us is alive to remember and to love him. . . . I believe that love is stronger than death."
—Opal Ruth Prater, Virginia

"Love is not about liking people. It is about seeing yourself in them. . . . There seems to be no substitute for the work of persistently imagining how I could be the other. This is what gives me the insights to actually change things. This, I believe, is how we are meant to love our enemies."
—David Waln, Oregon

"We are all of us empty people, searching for meaning after our failures. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on, renewed, undeservedly but steadfastly."
—Sarah Culp Searles, Tennessee

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

This anthology of writings on love in all its manifold wonders originated in a recent NPR series that, in turn, borrows its idea and title from an Edward R. Murrow radio program from the early fifties. This I Believe the book gathers personal essays about guiding principles of love; whether that love is directed towards a romantic other, a pet, or even the simple art of baking. A book on love would be timely at any time of the year, but it seems especially appropriate as we approach the holidays and a new year.

    Spellbinding, heartwarming, practical, inspiring.

    Listening to everyday people - from celebrities to single mothers and from teens to octogenarians - talk about their core beliefs, the things that see them through and guide their lives, is comforting. Yes, comforting in a time when the media would have us think that we're all a bunch of shallow, gimme-gimme, mindless twits with no substance (or all crooked with no scruples). Well, I'll take a stab at generalization, too, and guarantee that there are very few people who will not be inspired to greater introspection after having a first listen to this audio book. And, I further guarantee that listening to this WITH someone else will open up lines of communication that had been invisible. If a folk-music-lovin' 65 year old granny and a hard-core-metal-guitar-shredding 18 year old genius can connect on a deep philosophical level about homelessness and faithfulness and the power of a hug - you can use this to bridge any gap. In paperback or on audio book, these are powerful, very powerful.
