Ehman, a Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and writer for the daily devotional website Encouragement for Today, offers her dedicated readers a welcoming, well-reasoned manual for living with a focus on giving to others, sensitively guiding readers to think with their hearts and give with full sacrifice of the self. She often talks of “heart drops,” her term for those signals that a person is in need of encouragement and hope, and skillfully walks Christians through the process of noticing people who need emotional or practical pick-me-ups. Ehman shares intimately from her own experiences on top of providing a wealth of advice (always grounded deeply in scripture) on offering a good word at the right time. Fans will be delighted with the uplifting message and surprised by the copious extras, such as favorite recipes and inspirational quotes. (Nov.)

Overview
Our culture is self-obsessed - in our schedules, relationships, and especially online. (Can you say selfie?) But in this near-narcissism, people are less content than in decades past. Why? Because we forgot the joy that comes from putting others first. Doing so requires us to live alert, listening for “heart drops,” hints from those in our lives who need a helping hand or a generous dose of encouragement. Living alert lifts our own spirits, showing us that blessing others blesses us even more.
Listen, Love, Repeat offers biblical teaching and suggests doable actions that are simple, heart-tugging, sentimental, even sneaky and hilarious. This message:
¿ Presents scriptural examples of those who lived alert, including Jesus, who noticed those who least expected to be seen.
¿ Explains the role of good works for followers of Christ. They aren't our ticket to heaven but they are our marching orders on earth.
¿ Gives creative ideas for showing love to friends and family, and suggests practical ways to reach out to the lonely, the marginalized, the outcast, and the odd duck. Additionally, it helps you comfort the grieving, showing what you can do when you don't know what to say.
¿ Provides inspiration for blessing the “necessary people” in your life, those often-overlooked souls who help you get life done every day, and teaches you how to hug a porcupine by genuinely loving the hard-to-love.
As we scatter love, we create a safe space where we can openly share the gospel. We get to see lives changed right before our eyes. Most importantly, Listen, Love, Repeat will enable you to live a life that is full of kind deeds, not to selfishly shout, “Hey! Look at me!” but to humbly implore, “Will you look at Him?”
Editorial Reviews
'The woman who wrote this book is the same woman who threw my bridal shower, loves me in ways I don't deserve, believes in me in ways I don't believe in myself, and who gives gifts better than anyone I know. Listen, Love, Repeat isn't merely a catchy title, it's the way Karen Ehman lives. She hasn't stopped this cycle ever since I've met her. Now, it's your turn to start.'
'Listen, Love, Repeat is more than a book. It is an inspired call to action for Christians to do what Jesus calls us to do: love people. By the end of the first chapter, I was already looking for ways to scatter kindness. This book is more than a recitation of why our good deeds matter. It is a practical guidebook on how to be like Jesus in a world that desperately needs more kindness.'

This is a practical and encouraging manual to forming and deepening relationships all around you.'

'In Listen, Love Repeat Karen reminds us the purpose of doing good isn't about being known as a pretty good person but about pointing people to the breathtaking goodness of God. You won't feel like you're being asked to add one more thing to your already full plate. Instead, you'll discover how small sacrifices can have a significant impact on the lives of others. And how you can do it all for the glory of the One who made the greatest sacrifice of all.'
'With all the criticism and combativeness we witness online and in person, Listen, Love, Repeat is a breath of fresh air. . . . Faith-filled inspiration and practical ideas for living alert, taking notice of others, and scattering God's kindness in an often negative world.'
'Listen, Love, Repeat is a go-to manual on loving others like Jesus did. Karen's heartfelt stories, biblical examples, and doable ideas will empower you to live alert—being on the lookout for anyone who needs a healthy dose of encouragement wrapped in a blanket of grace. I can't wait to implement some of the suggestions!'
Listen, Love, Repeat was an answer to prayer! It’s so easy to live focused on our own needs, but as I asked the Lord to show me ways to better love those around me, Karen’s words inspired and equipped me to live with a heart of hospitality. This book is full of wonderful ways to live a life that reaches out and welcomes others in.
Listen, Love, Repeat is written by the woman I like to call my “other mother.” I spend lots of time at her house. She is never too busy to listen to my struggles, feed me good food, and let me borrow her phone charger. Best of all, she’s always pushing me to do my best and to strengthen my walk with the Lord. This book will help you to love like Jesus did and to never let others around you go unnoticed—even if that person is a teenage boy with a big appetite and dead cell phone who just needs someone to listen and care.
Packed with heartfelt truths and practical ideas, Karen Ehman hits the nail on the head with her newest book, Listen, Love, Repeat! Both challenging and inspiring, it is a message we desperately need in our world today: to love others. A must read!
Karen Ehman is God’s real deal—her heartfelt words a gift. When I began to tear up by page fifteen, I knew my heart was in for a total transformation! Listen, Love, Repeat quite possibly could be the key to getting unstuck from feeling hopelessly dry, scarily empty, and completely unfulfilled. Thank you, Karen, for being the friend we need to encourage us to tune our ears—in the midst of our culture’s narcissism—to hear God’s heart and scatter his loved to the world.
Listen, Love, Repeat is utterly refreshing. It’s a call to step out of our self-obsessed culture and notice the people around us, to really pay attention and look for ways to love and honor each other.
