Though Tracey was born to win, she was raised to fail by her own mother. Her mother was a woman who showed no remorse for hurting her, and any displayed emotions from her mother only served as a benefit to her. The physical and mental abuse that Tracey endured caused her to develop severe depression, insecurity, and fear. Her quest for love made her vulnerable to whoever she perceived loved her, and her fear and insecurity made her a target for bullies.

As you read this book, you will discover the importance of developing a strong love walk toward God, others, and yourself. Amazingly, your love walk affects every area of your life. Believe it or not, your’ healing, blessing, peace, prosperity, and even the prospering of your soul are all connected to your love walk. When you neglect to walk in love in any area of life, your life will be unfulfilled, powerless, and unbalanced. Living an unfulfilled, unbalanced, and powerless life is not the will of God for anyone. For God, our Father, desires to bless us wondrously. He desires that we live an abundant life, even as our souls prosper to the fullest through Jesus Christ. God bless. Love, Pastor Verna Augustusel

Soren Kierkegaard's Works of Love (1847), a series of deliberations on the commandment to love one's neighbor, has often been condemned by critics. Here, Ferreira seeks to rehabilitate Works of Love as one of Kierkegaard's most important works. He shows that Kierkegaard's deliberations on love are highly relevant to some important themes in contemporary ethics, including impartiality, duty, equality, mutuality, reciprocity, self-love, sympathy, and sacrifice. Ferreira also argues that Works of Love bears on issues peculiar to a religious ethic, such as the role of God as "middle term," and the possibility of preserving the aesthetic dimensions of love in a religious ethic of relation.
