Feel God's love more personally. Do you realize that the God of the universe speaks your love language, and your expressions of love for Him are shaped by your love language? Learn how you can give and receive God's love through the five love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Gary writes, "As we respond to the love of God and begin to identify the variety of languages He uses to speak to us, we soon learn to speak those languages ourselves. Whatever love language you prefer, may you find ever deeper satisfaction in using that language in your relationship with God and with other people." As you begin to identify the variety of languages God uses to speak love to you and others, you can learn to speak lovingly back to God and to those around you. No matter what love language you prefer, you will become more deeply connected with God and watch this bond transform all of your relationships.… (more)

I found this book thought-provoking and helpful. I'd already read the basic Five Love Languages book by the same author, and was pretty sure I knew my preferred 'languages' of love. This book looks at them in the light of how we best related to God, and how he gets our attention. It was reassuring to see that my reluctance to use certain styles of worship or prayer may simply stem from the ways I express love, and it was also useful to understand better how other people can relate very differently.

The book was well written, with a chapter about each of the different preferred 'love languages' (words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service and physical touch) after an initial introduction. Then there are further chapters looking at love language as it relates to discipline, and speaking other 'dialects'.

I can't say it was overwhelmingly inspiring but I enjoyed reading it over a couple of weeks, and would certainly recommend it to anyone trying to understand God - and other people - better.

An interesting spin on the original idea. ( )

The basic idea of the 5 love languages does not seem to neccesitate 32 different versions of the book that one can now find in the stores. This book intruiged me more based on it's pretty cover than anything else. ( )
