About In Love

A gorgeous compliment to the popular Illuminations and Inneractions, In Love is an inspiring collection of meditations and proverbs on the spiritual power of love of one-self, of others, and of the world.

Drawing from his experience as a therapist, counselor, and teacher, Stephen Paul has created a series of affirmations on personal change and growth. In Love moves his work into the realm of relationships, revealing the pleasure, the pain, and ultimately the power of love for all those working through the varied challenges of finding, keeping, or simply revealing it. Each of Paul's lyrical affirmations is accompanied by a bold, bright oil painting by acclaimed artist Gary Max Collins.

Combined, these words and images invite you to open to love, beginning with the love you must have for yourself and spiraling outward to embrace intimate relationships with others, with nature, and ultimately with the divine. As Stephen Paul explains, "The message is simple. It is possible to love and be loved. It is essential."
