This music-inspired book explores the love of God. Here's how to read this book: From left to right. That's the first step. The second is equally as important: with a guarded heart."The Bereans were open-minded in that they received the Word with all readiness and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11). Open-minded but heart guarded. Don't fully accept my or anyone else's word for it. I received many popular Western teachings that bound me. The Bereans took what they heard and searched the Scriptures to "find out whether these things were so." This is good practice. Also, I believe the Holy Spirit will "ring a bell" within you, testifying to truth-that-sets-you-free.Third step: expect to experience the person of Jesus. I have included prompts at the end of each chapter for you to engage the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in an experiential way. With each prompt, let the eyes of your heart open-wide for a fresh-wave of glory-enjoyment; this little practice can shake loose heaps of dormant head-knowledge. For a real knowledge, truth must be awakened in the heart. Just a few minutes of heart-connection with God could change your entire life. I've included blank space for you at the end of each chapter to write down anything that happens. Fourth step: listen to music! This book is intrinsically linked to my music record: Love Secrets; thirteen songs about God's love. And now: thirteen chapters. Each chapter of this book is titled after a song from the album and explores in detail the truths I sing about. I've arranged the order of chapters differently from the album for a more fluid reading experience. I would recommend listening to the corresponding song during the prompts at the end. You can listen to Love Secrets on every music platform. Fifth and finally: have fun. You'll notice this book is not prim and proper. I hope you giggle and enjoy the goofy banter.

Therapists Charlie and Linda Bloom have been married more than thirty-five years. Over a two-year period, they interviewed twenty-seven couples who had been together for an average of thirty years and seemed as happy as newlyweds. Were they just lucky? The Blooms found that these couples had faced real challenges - difficulties with children and stepchildren, war wounds, infidelity, and financial ruin. They also found that with loving dialogue and open hearts, the couples had found ways to heal, grow, and deepen their commitment through, and not despite, their challenges. The Blooms distill this real-world wisdom into practical, positive actions any couple can take to achieve or regain not just a good marriage but a great one.
