My Review:
This is a great book about what is means to fall head over heals in love with Jesus. There truly is no love that is stronger, or greater, or better than the love you can experience with the Lord and Savior. He is love.
I believe that you cannot be truly and completely happy without knowing the love of God. Sure, romantic relationships are great and will make you happy at times. However, they cannot complete you. Only God can complete you. He is the only one who will love you Unconditionally, all the time, no matter what.
The main idea of the book is this: “Discover how to get so lost in God that a guy has to seek Him to find you.”
I agree with this to an extent. Like I said above, I think you have to experience Christ’s love in order to have true happiness. Therefore, I want my spouse to love the Lord as I do. I want him to put God first, and me second. The main problem I have with this idea, is that it is almost teaching that as soon as you love God and are content in Him, he will send you your significant other. That’s not necessarily true. (That may not have been the author’s point, but I know many people who interpret it that way.) The goal is to be so in love with God, that you don’t need anyone else. If He so chooses to send you a significant other, that should just be a bonus. All you need is God.
