Praise for Life Lessons and Love Languages “Gary Chapman’s new memoir reminds us how God uses every experience, every turn in life to refine and equip us for usefulness in the kingdom. Be encouraged in your own life by seeing what God has done in Gary’s.” —Max Lucado Pastor and New York Times bestselling author “I can think of few men who have had a greater impact on lives and families than Gary Chapman. Now we have the benefit of an in-depth glimpse into the major influences by which the Lord has shaped Gary into a servant-hearted leader who ministers to others so effectively and faithfully.” —Jim Daly President, Focus on the Family “Like a chat with an old friend, you will love this behind-the-scenes peek at the life and ministry of Dr. Gary Chapman. In Life Lessons and Love Languages, Dr. Chapman shares the remarkable journey on which God has led him over the years, eventually becoming one of the best-known figures in Christian ministry. I’ve known Dr. Chapman for a long time, and he is the real deal—a humble, caring, generous, and wise follower of Christ. This backstory is itself an inspiring lesson about what God can do with someone who says yes to His call.” —Shaunti Feldhahn Social researcher and internationally bestselling author of For Women Only,Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages, and Thriving in Love and Money “Gary Chapman is like a brother to me, having known him for almost forty years. Yet it’s only after reading this book that I feel like I know “the rest of the story,” and more about this focused and flexible servant of God. We read in Psalm 71:17, “O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds” (ESV). The unnamed writer of this psalm, and GaryChapman, have much in common. Read this short, powerful book to be inspired. I was!” —Greg Thornton CFO, Moody Bible Institute “Who actually gets to sit down with their favorite author or speaker and really understand who they are? The events that shaped them? This incredible book lets us look “under the hood” at Gary Chapman, to begin to understand how he can be so humble and incredible at changing and impacting literally millions of lives. You and I get to read firsthand the stories, experiences, trials, and amazing life lessons that have shaped Dr. Chapman’s life. Even more, reading his insights on all the places God has taken him can take us to a whole new level of trusting and loving Jesus and others. What a powerful, uplifting, inspiring look at someone who defines a life well lived—and challenges us to go do the same for Jesus as well!” —John Trent Coauthor of The Blessing; founder of StrongFamilies.com
