God Speaks Your Love Language

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 (touch and quality time). 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. It's probably best to have read one of the other books about love languages first, however. ( )

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. ( )
