Synopsis

Real love...we all want it, and we all have trouble giving it sometimes! In How to Make People Really Feel Loved, Charlie Shedd offers wisdom for showing God's love to those who need it most: Your spouse and children, other family and friends, co-workers and acquaintances, those who are hard to love, people who you would like to reach for Christ.

One of the most important ways to show love, says Charlie, is through prayer: "Real prayer is not something we do. Real prayer is something the Lord does through us. And the thing he does through us is to love with real love. Love divine. All loves excelling."

This collection of wisdom is topped off with seven positive affirmations--one for each day of the week--that you can incorporate into your own life. Follow these affirmations and you will discover that it is possible to love the whole world--one person at a time.

About this title

About the Author:

Dr. Charlie W. Shedd is a master communicator of homespun wisdom. He has spent a lifetime making God's grandest truth available to the simplest of folks.

Dr. Shedd served as a Presbyterian minister for over 50 years. He was the shepherd of small country churches and big city cathedrals. Along the way, he walked alongside janitors, farmers, physicians, and presidential cabinet members. "Pastor Shedd" never met a stranger, or left anyone who did not feel richer for being in this presence.

He has authored over 40 books, written nationally syndicated columns, and been a favorite guest of numerous television and radio personalities. He is credited with being originator of the Christian weight-loss movement, and along with Bill Cosby, he helped plant Quest courses in thousands of middle and high schools across the country.

Perhaps more than anything, save his role as a husband to Martha and later to Anna Ruth, Charlie will be remembered for advice on love and relationships. The high-water mark for these efforts can be found in the classic books, Letters to Karen and Letters to Philip. These books have sold in the millions. He mentored a Christian generation in the art of keeping Christ and joy in the heart of relationships.

Charlie Shedd has come to personify the best ideals of Christian counseling. He knows the pain life can bring. He knows how to communicate God's love and wisdom directly to aching hearts.
