"The Five Love Languages"
By
Gary Chapman
People express and receive love in different ways. Dr. Gary Chapman identifies these as the five languages of love: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. If you express love toward others in a way they don't understand, they will not realize you've expressed your love at all. The problem is that you're speaking different languages. Abridged version of the New York Times bestselling title.

At first I was thinking that a self help wasn't what I had in mind for the book club, however learning about new authors was and so with that in mind I read the book with an open mind hoping to learn something. There were many thing I liked that the author pointed out about quality time together. I highlighted some of the points I liked and Tiffany will now go through and highlight her favorite points. Once finished we deceided to sit down and discuss for fun and guess what Love Language each other are. I think I know TIffany well enough to guess hers. Overall it was a good book, and it gave me an excuse to read a book we have had for years collecting dust on our bookshelf.
ReplyDeleteAbout 3 weeks ago I followed Jeremiah to Butte. I was going to be 4 hours in the car alone with Daisy so I decided it would be the best time to listen to our book for the month. So I downloaded the book and got on the road. It was interesting to hear that the author chose to narrate his own book. It was great to hear from his own words and experiences. Before the book started there was an interview he did about his book.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in the thick of graduate school Jeremiah and I were just starting to date. One thing he and I did was take personality tests so we could talk about who we are and how best to understand each other. We did the color code and Meyers Briggs. It was a great way for us to really understand each other. This book is just the same. Just like every other personality book, it is good to help people understand each other. His thoughts really were not anything new just with a new twist on the same personality tests.
Ok, so I don't think I am going to be able to get to the book this month. I am swamped with school work. Sorry ~Camberley~
