Be Bold. Be Inclusive. Be Selfless.
Be Available. Be Accepting. These are the five lessons Dr. Les Parrott teaches
in his book Love Like That.
He’s written five chapters: Chapter
1: Mindful. Chapter 2: Approachable. Chapter 3: Grace-Full. Chapter 4: Bold.
Chapter 5: Self-Giving.
Each of these adjectives describe how
to love like Jesus. Parrott’s premise is that if we can put on these traits, we
can love like Jesus. Or at least attempt to. Or at least understand how Jesus
loved others. Of course we can’t love like Jesus, but Parrott gives readers
these ideals with assurance that if we follow them, our relationships will
improve.
Be aware of what’s going on around
us, and get involved. He writes that loving like Jesus isn’t efficient. We must
be willing to change our agenda. We must be inclusive. Everyone is flattered
when they get an invitation, right? We need to stop be judgmental and love. We
need to be bold—speak the truth in love. And we need to give. To be selfless.
To do unto others.
You know how it is, you read a book
and forget i’s message. I’m not forgetting this book’s message. It’s worth
remembering, and it’s hard to forget. How to love like Jesus? Yes, please.
Thank you, Dr. Parrott, for this book—for showing us how to improve
relationships. After all, what are we here for if not to love each other?
Dr. Parrott’s book is a blend of
scripture, psychology, philosophy, and personal experience, making it a
complete package. I recommend this book to others.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®.
