The
Book of Love
By Andrew
W Greeley and Mary G Durkin
This
anthology of poetry, stories, scriptures, and folk tales from many
cultures encompasses the many facets of relationships: love of family,
friendship, love of God, love of nature, love between man and woman.
Included are selections from the Bible, the Koran, Shakespeare,
Chaucer, Oscar Wilde, Shelley, among a few.
Its
purpose is to promote an appreciation of the possibilities and challenges
of love. The reader can delve into the volume, read at his pleasure
a selection, and contemplate the message and purpose of one of the
many ways that love exists.
This
is an excellent volume to pick up when the spirit is at a low ebb.
It gives hope and comfort.
