The Power of a Loving Man
Overview
It may not sound macho, but the world needs men who will love in ways that bring positive change to everything they touch. The Power of a Loving Man affirms both masculinity and sensitivity as part of being made in God’s image, and bravely embraces and applies the teachings found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, helping men learn to love as God intended. As a result, families, friendships, marriages, and lives can be greatly strengthened forever.

“This conceit is rooted in a mental attitude that says deep down we have set up our own personal judgment as the standard of truth—what we think is true simply because we think it is true. My opinion is right, and I am not going to change it because, at some level, I believe I may be wrong; and I cannot afford to be wrong. I am the standard.” (Page 28)
“Envy, sometimes translated as ‘jealousy,’ as used here represents a range of emotions from envious greed to fear of replacement. There is also the sense of intent.

“Getting to a place in life where we can give and receive love that never fails is a process” (Page 16)
“kindness accepts others, admits weakness and failure, assumes responsibility” (Page 10)
“That is not love; it is lust. Lust controls us to the exclusion of love.” (Page 17)
