The Bible's Best Love Stories
Wright delves into the Bible, the greatest collection of love stories ever told, and selects 20 stories for us to experience in a new way. He identifies from Old and New Testaments the people who wanted to love and to be loved, people with passion, people who formed strong bonds of friendship, people who were loyal, people who had sexual desires, people who failed and received forgiveness, and people who strived to find God in the providence of their daily lives.
He examines twenty stories of all kinds of love—spousal, friend, familial, etc.—in the Bible and challenges us to make the "love connection" in our own lives and in our relationship with God. Prayers, quotes, and questions for reflection at the end of each chapter allow individuals and groups to deepen their grasp of their faith.

This book takes several different examples of love from the Bible and showcases each one. Each chapter includes background on the "couple" and a reflection and prayer.
I love that this book includes stories of all types of love. It includes romantic love, friendship, familial love, and Jesus' love. It includes relationships between all genders and gives a broad perspective of the Bible.
My dissapointment was that I was expecting less stories and more depth. This was not really a good book for sitting down and reading in a few sittings. It is better suited for daily reflection. I think it would be a great addition to a family Bible study or even Youth Group.

Great insight
I truly enjoyed the authors perspective and showing us the great loves in the new testament. It pushes me to be more living and understanding of others.
