Holding All Things Together

About the Book

Dante observed that love governs the sun and all the stars. It also governs life, for without it, life would not be worth living. There are concepts of love, however, which are inaccurate or downright distorted. The love of which Dante speaks, and which is affirmed in religion, is expressed in the Greek word agape. It is unconditional, emanating from God, and essential for wholeness in human relationships. This brief book is an attempt to underscore its indispensableness for spiritual maturity, mental health, and meaningful living.
