The Book of Love

Daphne Rose Kingma has written some of the most treasured books on love and relationships. Her basic belief is that we are all both heart and soul, emotional and spiritual beings, and the deepest, most fulfilling love is an emotional and spiritual experience. It makes our hearts sing and our souls rejoice. In The Book of Love, she distills the essence of her wisdom and offers a series of gentle lessons on how to create this kind of love. She teaches you how to discover your own loving nature, how to give and receive love, how to cherish yourself, your partner, and your relationship and how to add depth, meaning and intimacy to that relationship. She writes of the importance of both words and actions in love relationships. She reminds you that the words you use, in public and in your own mind, create an emotional reality. Learn, therefore, to use the generous words, the consoling words, the forgiving words, to say "thank you," "I need you," and "I love you." She reminds you too, to be brave in relationships, to face difficulties directly, do the unexpected, reveal your fears, share your dreams, trust each other and, above all, play together.
