About One Way Love
Real life is long on law and short on grace—the demands never stop, the failures pile up, and fear sets in. Life requires many things from us—a stable marriage, successful children, a certain quality of life. Anyone living inside the guilt, anxiety, and uncertainty of daily life knows that the weight of life is heavy. We are all in need of some relief.
Bestselling author Tullian Tchividjian is convinced our world needs a fresh encounter with grace.

My Thoughts:
This was a great inspiration to read. I found that no matter what problems I was having or how low I felt, there was a chapter that not only helped explain the feelings but gave me scripture and reassurance and HOPE! Some of the Chapter titles are Chapter 2: How I almost killed my Mother and Chapter 6: The unexpected gift of hugging a cactus. Sounds just crazy right? These are really heartfelt stories that touch the heart. As in chapter 2 we were all teens and at some point in our life we were a rebellious child. Our parents have done everything in their power to guide us and give us the best they could but still we are always smarter than they are. I think chapter 6 is one of the favorite chapters I read because I know when I was out partying and doing wrong, I always had that one friend that was there to give you at hug and say "It will all be OK", and give you the much needed support.
Although I couldn't completely relate to every story in the same context as it was written, I found every story relating if not to me, a friend, or a family member. I remember a little girl we had 4 boys that lived next door. Their last name was Pigg. Now, with a name like Pigg what would you think would happen to you? Yep, every time I would see them I would OINK, OINK, OINK. Ronald, one of the twins, would run and tell my Daddy on me. Then my dad would do the expected and wear my butt out. I still never disrespected my parents, and today at 37 if I see Ronald, I still Oink. And yes, before you ask I would willingly let my Father punish me the way he saw fit.
If you are looking a good inspirational book for you, a friend, or a family member, then this is a great book for you. I have since I received this book, used it for a reference book.
