"What is love? Does true love really exist? I know how to be loved, but what does it mean to love another person? Do I have the capacity to love someone else?" Everyone wants to experience love, yet it often seems that the people we most want to love become antagonists, and that the harder we try, the more distant we become from each other. God is the source of love, but it is obvious that at some point in human history, a vast gulf developed between man and God. High divorce rates, racism and terrorism, and animosity between religions are proof that we are far from realizing the ideal of love. If we truly met God, and felt deeply that God loves us, all loneliness and unhappiness, sickness, suffering and sorrow would vanish. We know this, but we can not find the experience we seek. This book is an investigation into the historical resentments that have interfered with love and come between men and women, parents and children, siblings, and friends, even when their deepest desire was to live together in harmony and mutual fulfillment. Learn how you can overcome the past, develop your own capacity to give of yourself, and see those around you with eyes of true love.

A Glamour Best Book of 2020 • A Bustle Best Books of 2020 • Winner of an Audiofile Earphones Award • An Entertainment Weekly 30 Hottest Book of the Summer • A Refinery29 25 Book You’ll Want To Read This Summer Selection • A Chicago Review of Books 10 Must-Read Books of the Month • A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of the Year • A The Millions Most Anticipated Book of the Year • A Shondaland 15 Hot Books for Summer One of today’s most provocative literary writers—the author of the critically-acclaimed Sunshine State and the Los Angeles Times First Fiction Award finalist Binary Star—captures the confused state of modern romance and the egos that inflate it in a dark comedy about a woman's search for acceptance, identity, and financial security in the rise of Trump. Nina is a struggling writer, a college drop-out, a liar, and a cheater. More than anything she wants love. She deserves it. From the burned-out suburbs of Florida to the anonymous squalor of New York City, she eats through an incestuous cast of characters in search of it: her mother, a narcissistic lesbian living in a nudist polycule; Odessa, a single mom with even worse taste in men than Nina; Seth, an artist whose latest show is comprised of three Tupperware containers full of trash; Brian, whose roller-coaster affair with Nina is the most stable “relationship” in his life; and Aaron, an aspiring filmmaker living at home with his parents, with whom Nina begins to write her magnum opus. Nina’s quest for fulfillment is at once darkly comedic, acerbically acute, and painfully human—a scathing critique of contemporary society, and a tender examination of our anguished yearning for connection in an era defined by detachment.

From the influential and ever-growing movement I Am Second, a remarkable collection of stories of people searching for and finding love. When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization intended simply to tell stories of lives changed utterly by people placing God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same--and continues to have enormous power and influence today. I Found Love is the highly anticipated new book from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following, among others: David and Tamela Mann Jason Castro Sean Lowe Stephen Baldwin Amanda Cooper Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God and always unsatisfied until we find the love of God.

With exercises, practical tools, and inspiring stories, Deeper Dating will guide you on a journey to find the love—and personal fulfillment—you long for Lose weight. Be confident. Keep your partner guessing. At the end of the day, this soulless approach to dating doesn't lead to love but to insecurity and desperation. In Deeper Dating, Ken Page presents a new path to love. Out of his decades of work as a psychotherapist and his own personal struggle to find love, Page teaches that the greatest magnet for real love lies in our "Core Gifts"—the places of our deepest sensitivity, longing, and passion. Deeper Dating guides us to discover our own Core Gifts and empowers us to express them with courage, generosity, and discrimination in our dating life. When we do this, something miraculous happens: we begin to attract people who love us for who we are, we become more self-assured and emotionally available, and we lose our taste for relationships that chip away at our self-esteem. Without losing a pound, changing our hairstyle, or buying a single new accessory, we find healthy love moving closer . . . Deeper Dating integrates the best of human intimacy theory with timeless spiritual truths and translates them into a practical, step-by-step process.

Let's face it; life is messy. It's stained. It's crumpled up. And, this book is as real as that is my handwriting (the word REAL)! It's two-fold: this is about real life...my life, my story and indirectly, your life, too. It's not sugar-coated and fluffy. And the second part is that it's about real love... true and unconditional love. The kind that seems to evade us. For an entire 90-day window, I was intently focused on finding answers...and even the right questions. I followed myself around with a microscope, leaving no stone unturned. I allowed myself to feel. To really feel. And that included the pain and fear that bubbled up as I pulled off all the bandaids, one by one, and exposed the rawness beneath them. This is my journey through 90-days. The discoveries I made, the concepts I learned and applied, the obstacles that cropped up along the way and the miracles that became visible to me.
