Publisher Description
Walk the path of love with one of the warmest, most beloved spiritual leaders of our time, and learn how to put faith into action.
As the descendant of slaves and the son of a civil rights activist, Bishop Michael Curry's life illustrates massive changes in our times. Much of the world met Bishop Curry when he delivered his sermon on the redemptive power of love at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle. Here, he expands on his message of hope in an inspirational road map for living the way of love, illuminated with moving lessons from his own life. Through the prism of his faith, ancestry, and personal journey, Love Is the Way shows us how America came this far and, more important, how to go a whole lot further.
The way of love is essential for addressing the seemingly insurmountable challenges facing the world today: poverty, racism, selfishness, deep ideological divisions, competing claims to speak for God. This book will lead readers to discover the gifts they need in order to live the way of love: deep reservoirs of hope and resilience, simple wisdom, the discipline of nonviolence, and unshakable regard for human dignity.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Bishop Michael Curry captured the hearts of millions when he spoke on the vital and inspiring power of love at the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in 2018. In this uplifting audiobook, he expands on that affirming message, describing what love means to him and how focusing on its expansive role in our lives can make us better, happier people. Narrating with the same easygoing warmth that made that 2018 sermon so compelling, Curry describes how love is the basis for faith and trust, the basic principles that allow our society to function and push us to improve. We were moved to hear him cite this kind of all-encompassing love as the force that inspired a stranger at his family’s church to become a surrogate mom to him when he lost his own mother to illness as a child. Though he dots the discussion with relevant Bible verses, Curry’s message is for listeners of all faiths—in his world, the power of love is for everyone.
