The Adventure awaits! Accompany Rose through the portal of romance to the Love that never fails!
Rose is about relationships - she says if we don't get those right, we'll be stuck in a cycle of misery. "Love one another as I have loved you" had led Rose to share the timeless teaching of the four temperaments to understand a person's deepest emotional needs. "Look, you can love others the way YOU want, or they way THEY need to be loved. It's selfish to keep insisting they be like you." Rose offers practical help in not just improving any relationship but in reaching higher levels of authentic love. Who doesn't want that?
A simple reminder of God's wooing of us, written in an easy-to-read style with many examples of human wooing to help us relate. The chapter on romance in the Mass was my favorite.
