A testament to the power of vulnerability. Glennon shows us the
clearest meaning of 'To thine own self be true.' It's as if she
reached into her heart, captured the raw emotions there, and
translated them into words that anyone who's ever known pain or
shame--in other words, every human on the planet--can relate to.
She's bravely put everything on the table for the whole world to
see.
-- Oprah Winfrey (Oprah's Book Club 2016 selection) Love Warrior
reaches a depth of truth and power and emotional gravity that is
rarely seen in the world, and even more rarely spoken aloud.
Glennon's story about the resurrection of her marriage (a tale of a
woman daring to come into her body, and a man daring to come into
his mind, and the two of them daring--with outrageous courage--to
trust each other) is something beyond merely inspirational; it is
epic. I think of this book as the vital, long-overdue, much-needed
sister memoir to Eat Pray Love. Glennon lifts the roof off her
whole house--her whole life--and examines everything, right out in
the open. She has, indeed, become a Love Warrior. This book is an
act of love and truth and generosity; it will change lives.
-- Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Big
Magic and Eat Pray Love This is a book about what it means to be
human--to wrestle with love, hurt, addiction, vulnerability,
intimacy, and grace. Love Warrior blew me away. We can all find
pieces of our own stories reflected in Glennon's powerful words. We
are so lucky to have her courage and wisdom in the world. We need
this kind of truth telling if we are ever going to find our way
back to each other.
-- Bren� Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Rising Strong
and Daring Greatly How can I do justice to this book? Moving and
brilliant and funny and shocking and heartbreaking and inspiring,
Love Warrior raises provocative questions about just what is
possible for a person, a marriage, a family, a life. At the heart
of this story is the insistence that we don't have to settle--we
can explore our shadows, and we're not just going to survive it,
but we're going to come out the other side a whole new person with
new love, new hope, new strength, and maybe even a new marriage.
This is a big, stunning, buoyant, honest, raw glimpse into the life
of an astonishing woman, but it is also a punch in the face to
anyone anywhere who believes that this is just how it is and it's
not going to get any better.
-- Rob Bell, New York Times bestselling author of Love Wins This
elegant, moving memoir is about one woman's marriage but also much
more than that. Glennon writes about a hunger for love that all of
us feel and the only food that ultimately feeds us. She understands
the unique relationship between spiritual and romantic love, and in
finding one, she masters the other. Truly a wonderful book.
-- Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author of A
Return to Love When I finished the last page of Love Warrior, I
sobbed. I sobbed because I was in awe. Because I didn't want it to
end. Because it made me believe more deeply in love, in humanity,
in forgiveness, in God, in marriage. Glennon and Craig have invited
us so far into the messy, beautiful, difficult insides of their
hearts and lives, and what we find there is profoundly inspiring.
This is a book that will change lives, change marriages, change the
way we think and talk about what love really is.
-- Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author of Present
Over Perfect A compelling story about self-discovery. Candid,
brave, and generous.
-- Kirkus Reviews Glennon Doyle Melton has mastered sharing her
emotional life with the world, which she does nearly daily on
momastery.com. Now she lays herself bare once again in Love
Warrior, chronicling her struggles and the depths of her resilience
in the darkest of times. A heroic achievement.
-- Family Circle A haunting powerhouse of a book.
--Washington Post A book with so much painful truth packed into its
pages that every person who's ever married or plans to marry should
really give it a read.
--Chicago Tribune An incredible, dark, poignant, vulnerable
personal account about surviving rock bottom and finding a better
life. You will be inspired by [Glennon's] resilience, strength, and
womanhood.
--Real Simple A breathless story, beautifully told. Love Warrior
presents an intense and absorbing narrative while reaching for
something bigger and more quixotic, the mystery of intimacy
itself.
--Bookpage This memoir isn't really about Melton rebuilding her
relationship with her husband; it's about Melton rebuilding her
relationship with herself. It's about one woman letting go of the
gendered messages she's been surrounded by her entire life, and
communing with her fullest, most authentic self. Utterly refreshing
and... just totally badass.
--Bustle.com Melton is not merely relaying a narrative; she is
offering her story with the hope and purpose of connection. Love
Warrior ...draws you in close, as if the author is talking to you,
and only to you. Listening to such a warm and emotionally
intelligent author is a worthy investment in a course on difficult
conversations. But I suspect that... what will win you over is all
the 'terrible magic' that happens when things fall apart.
--New York Times Book Review (This text refers to the audio edition
of Love Warrior)
