Twelve Months, Twelve Lessons: What It Really Means to Live Love with Author Kim Sorrelle

  1. Twelve Months, Twelve Lessons: What It Really Means to Live Love with Author Kim Sorrelle Teri M Brown 24:47

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kim Sorrelle, author of the book Love Is. Kim Sorrelle is a writer, speaker, entrepreneur, and director of a humanitarian organization. She is the author of two books, “Cry Until You Laugh” which details her journey through Cancer, and “Love Is” which chronicles her year-long experiment to discover the true meaning of love. Kim is passionate about people and loves to Travel to new places and meet new faces. She has five children and eleven grandchildren whom she adores and believes will one day make a positive impact on the world. Kim is committed to living a life of love and is determined to make a difference in the lives of those around her.

 

In my book review, I stated Love Is is a beautiful memoir exploring the concept of Christ-like love. She uses 1 Corinthians 13 as a guide and spends an entire year trying to love as Jesus would love. What a gift she’s given all who read her words – a way to think about loving others that goes beyond words and hits squarely on actions. And not just any actions, but actions that truly depict love for another.

 

Love is patient, kind, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, does not dishonor others, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, does not keep a record of wrongs, does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth, always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres – it never fails. Kim learned that such love isn’t easy to live – even when your focus is on just one phrase. I loved how honest she was – sometimes that she believed it would be easy and was wrong, and often that she knew it would be hard and it was harder than she imagined.

 

Without a doubt, this book has me thinking – and re-thinking – about love, how I show it to others, and how I can make changes to live more fully the love described in 1 Corinthians 13.
