Seen. Known. Loved.: 5 Truths About God and Your Love Language

by Gary Chapman, R. York Moore

Overview

Could Your Love Language Guide You to a Meaningful Life?

In a world of varying beliefs and endless opportunities, determining how to spend our lives can seem impossible. And even more difficult than finding direction can be finding meaning. Perhaps we know what we’re most interested in, but how do we know if it has purpose?

These longings are rooted in our desire to feel God’s presence in our lives, which begins when we know how He communicates with us. Seen. Known. Loved. examines how God—the Creator of the universe—intimately communicates with each of His people. Relationships expert Gary Chapman and coauthor R. York Moore offer practical insights for how to know your own love language and how God uses it to communicate with you. When we come to understand our own unique love language, we discover how God both speaks and listens. And, therefore, how He is intimately involved in our lives in ways we have never before identified. The first step to living with meaning is living in union with our God—the source of meaning.

Marriage counselor Chapman (The Five Love Languages) and Moore (Do Something Beautiful), national evangelist for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, address Christians who are seeking purpose in their lives in this refreshing guide based on Chapman’s love languages. The authors assure readers that they “are not alone in feeling alone” and explain how to use their specific love language to “find a consistent path to feel God’s love.” Contrasting the power of God’s word with the emptiness of seeking fulfillment through the fleeting acceptance of social media, Chapman and Moore argue that combining righteousness and love will result in actions that help one flourish. Drawing from the biblical story of the prodigal son, they remind readers that God loves them and desires to give them gifts even when they are at their worst. Each chapter concludes with “Refocus” suggestions for applying the authors’ insights—such as telling God directly about one’s love for him, recalling moments where one felt God’s love, and replacing the word “Son” with one’s name in the famous John 3:16–17 verse. This reassuring work will provide direction for Christians looking for a more intimate relationship to their faith. (July)
