A spiritual guide to living life through love and connection rather than fear and isolation, by a respected pastor and a frequent guest on Oprah's Soul Series. Reverend Bacon believes that every person can live a full and creative life if they can learn to move through troubling emotions to find the beloved within themselves. Readers will learn how insecurity can keep us from connecting with others, our loving self, and finding our own peace, joy, and creative power.8 Habits of Love shows, through relatable stories, how to create a full, meaningful life by developing simple habits-stillness, truth, forgiveness, compassion, play, candor, generosity, and community-and live the life you're meant to be living."Open this book and suddenly you're sitting in a pew or on a porch, mesmerized by stories and sermons you'll want your heart to memorize for life. They made me laugh and cry and want to be a better person." -Regina Brett, author of God Never Blinks and Be the Miracle
