The Look of Love

By Fr James Lyons
Inspired by Pope Benedict XVI's Encyclical – Deus Caritas Est – God is Love

 

Add a new dimension to senior religious education classes with

 

THE LOOK OF LOVE – an easy to read yet challenging commentary on Pope Benedict’s 2005 Encyclical Letter, God is Love [Deus Caritas Est].

 

This 94 page colour illustrated book uses real life stories to explore the several definitions of love identified in the Encyclical.  Discussion questions ideal for personal and/or group reflection encourage a deeper appreciation of this powerful emotion.

 

Valuing self and others; recognizing our connectedness with all creation; seeing how a faith-dimension can enhance and inspire human relationships; clarifying the relevance between human love and religious belief in today’s world – all this and more, including a selection of poem-prayers, make THE LOOK OF LOVE a wonderful classroom resource.

 

New Zealand priest-author, James Lyons, applies a wealth of pastoral experience to address the questions we all have about personal identity, faith commitment and the love relationship between self, others and God.
