A Life That Looks Like Love

Living the Great Commandment in a Divided World

What if we chose to let love lead us—every single day?

In a world torn by division and noise, this book invites readers to discover what it truly means to live with love at the center.

How the book came about

“I didn’t just almost lose my life. In a strange way, I lost the old version of myself.”

Before my heart attack in 2016, I knew how to work hard, build things, take care of people, and keep moving. But emotionally, I was closed off in ways I did not fully understand. I had people around me who loved me deeply, but I am not sure I knew how to let that love all the way in.

Then everything stopped. I was on life support. My family was terrified. When I came out of it, I was different—not all at once, and not perfectly, but something in me had opened.

Over the years that followed, I began to understand that the most important thing in life was not achievement, status, being right, or being admired. It was love: loving God, loving the person in front of me, learning to receive love, and learning to live it.

By 2025, the pieces came together. I told my wife, Eileen, “I think I need to write a book.” A Life That Looks Like Love is the result.
