THE GIFT OF LOVE
By Joel S. Goldsmith
I-Level Publications Publishers, Lakewood, CO
“Love is not a sentimental attachment to mankind: love is a law; love is a mode of conduct, an attitude….”
The name Joel Goldsmith is familiar to many New Thought students. A prolific teacher of practical mysticism, he is best known for his writings called The Infinite Way. A lesser-known work, THE GIFT OF LOVE, is a small, delightful compilation of his meditations on the nature, meaning, and possibilities of love.
From the book jacket: “Composed of a talk given by Goldsmith at a wedding, as well as his carefully chosen thoughts on the subject, this beautiful volume simply yet insightfully presents the power that love holds out to each of us to transform ourselves and our world.” In addition to the chapter entitled, A Wedding Talk, other selections include Love as Understanding, Love Thy Neighbor, How to Express Love to Your Family, and many more.
THE GIFT OF LOVE will bring new insights to every level of reader, and makes a wonderful gift.
“Love is the ability of the Christ in me to recognize and bear witness to the Christ in you.”
