Love Life
Author: Rob Lowe
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451685750
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
On the heels of his New York Times bestselling Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe is back with an entertaining collection that “invites readers into his world with easy charm and disarming frankness” (Kirkus Reviews). After the incredible response to his acclaimed bestseller, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe was convinced to mine his experiences for even more stories. The result is Love Life, a memoir about men and women, actors and producers, art and commerce, fathers and sons, movies and TV, addiction and recovery, sex and love. Among the adventures he describes in these pages are: · His visit, as a young man, to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, where the naïve actor made a surprising discovery in the hot tub. · The time, as a boy growing up in Malibu, he discovered a vibrator belonging to his best friend’s mother. · What it’s like to be the star and producer of a flop TV show. · How an actor prepares, for Californification, Parks and Recreation, and numerous other roles. · His hilarious account of coaching a kid’s basketball team dominated by helicopter parents. · How his great, great, great, great, great grandfather may have inspired everything from his love of The West Wing to his taste in classic American architecture. · His first visit to college, with his son, who is going to receive the education his father never got. · The time a major movie star stole his girlfriend. Linked by common themes and his philosophical perspective on love—and life—Lowe’s writing “is loaded with showbiz anecdotes, self-deprecating tales, and has a general sweetness” (New York Post).

Book Description
Love. Four little letters that leave an enormous impact on our lives. What is your experience with love? Did you read the word love and roll your eyes, wanting to throw this book across the room? (Me too!) Or did you read the word love and have a warm sensation run through your body as you remember holding hands on the beach or saying "I do" in front of friends and family? Whatever your lens of love is determines how you walk through this life and, most importantly, how you view your relationship with God. What does God have to say about love? Loved to Life exposes the four types of biblical love described in the Bible: storge love, philia love, eros love, and agape love. At the same time, this book details how I walked out these four types of love in my secular life versus my life with Jesus. Loved to Life is not only my journey to the Father's heart but can also be your journey as well! May God bless your walk with me through the heartache, the pain, the joy, and the love I found in my life experiences and, most importantly, our walk with Jesus!

Without a Map
Author: Meredith Hall
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807016314
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The national best-selling memoir about banishment, reconciliation, and the meaning of family "This sobering portrayal of a pregnant teen exiled from her small New Hampshire community is a testament to the importance of understanding and even forgiving the people who . . . have made us who we are” —O, The Oprah Magazine A New York Times Bestseller, now with an epilogue from the author Meredith Hall’s moving but unsentimental memoir begins in 1965, when she becomes pregnant at sixteen. Shunned by her insular New Hampshire community, she is then kicked out of the house by her mother. Her father and stepmother reluctantly take her in, hiding her before they finally banish her altogether. After giving her baby up for adoption, Hall wanders recklessly through the Middle East, where she survives by selling her possessions and finally her blood. She returns to New England and stitches together a life that encircles her silenced and invisible grief. Her lost son tracks her down when he turns twenty-one, and Hall learns that he grew up in gritty poverty with an abusive father in her own father’s hometown. Their reunion is tender, turbulent, and ultimately redemptive. Hall’s parents never ask for her forgiveness, yet as they age, she offers them her love. Here, loss and betrayal evolve into compassion, and compassion into wisdom.
