I was given this in a member give-away in return for an honest review.

This was a selection of short stories written to illustrate facets of love, many God's love. The stories were each very brief - frankly too much so my taste. The stories were spare and could have been fleshed out more to be more enjoyable and help the reader identify more with the characters and stories. Presently they remind me of parables in their brevity and message.

The stories seem perhaps to have been translated, or show more written in English by a non-native speaker. The prose will be less distracting after attention from a good editor.

I don't intend the review to be completely negative. The stories were interesting, and the ones about the prostitute especially have stayed in my mind. I think the author's ideas show promise. show less

This is a well-written collection of vignettes each with a different character telling us of their experiences with the emotion of love written from theperspective of a Christian. My thanks to the author and LibraryThing for a complimentary copy.
