Editor's review

Herein is Love is an English-language work by Reuel L. Howe, classified by Project Gutenberg under Christian practical theology and worship. The author's long-standing concern with the relationship between faith and the person continues here, with reflections organized around the theme of love; the prose is plain and carries a pastoral, exhortative tone. It does not aim at systematic theological argument and is better savored slowly in quiet reading. For readers interested in religious literature, spiritual formation, or English religious texts, it offers a simple and warm entry point. As you read, notice how the author grounds abstract love in everyday relationships and the practice of faith. As a public-domain e-book, it is easy to access at any time and well suited to reading-group discussion.

Who it's for

Not a good fit for

Reading tips

Read one short section at a time, then allow a few minutes of quiet reflection and note down the sentences that move you.
Annotate in light of personal experience, considering how the book's discussion of love applies to everyday relationships.
For group reading, set one discussion question around each chapter's theme and take turns sharing reflections.
Don't chase speed; if something is unclear, skip it for now and return to it after finishing the book.
