The Most Important Word - by Hewlette Pearson (Paperback)

About the Book

Every one of us was born with the capacity to give and receive love.

Book Synopsis

It is easy to become so consumed with our own lives that we fail to notice the needs of others. Love is free, yet it is priceless; showing love can be as simple as a smile, yet as rewarding as our most prized accomplishment. All of us--infants and grandparents, the wealthy and the homeless, Christians and non-Christians alike--desire to love, and to be loved.

Hewlette A.C. Pearson interviewed 38 people from various backgrounds and walks of life, and recorded each person's responses to three simple questions:

- What is your definition of love?
- How do you show love?
- How do you feel when love is shown or expressed to you?

The results were astonishing. The emotional, heartfelt insights provided by each respondent will surely touch your heart, and bring the concept of love to the forefront of your mind. Their words will inspire you to find your way back to the perfect, unfailing love of God, and to truly experience the power of The Most Important Word: Love.

From the Back Cover

Every one of us was born with the capacity to love. That is our place of vulnerability, as it is not contingent on the response we anticipate, but a need that another has. Yes, we have struggles, and we have our own individual pain, but we need to realize that we have been touched by a part of God that is found within each of us.

Review Quotes

"In Hewlette Pearson's book, The Most Important Word, she deals with the word love... God's love raised Jesus from the dead for our salvation. And so, no matter what you or I do, His love is always there to forgive us, to save us, and to help us show our gratitude. This message from Hewlette Pearson will continue to remind us, as we journey through life, to never forget to love and help others."
