What did Jesus teach? Distilled from years of study and lecture, affirmed by nearly a million listeners over the last 50 years, Emmet Fox's answer in The Sermon on the Mount is simple. The Bible is a "textbook of metaphysics" and the teachings of Jesus express - without dogma - a practical approach for the development of the soul and for the shaping of our lives into what we really wish them to be. For Fox, Jesus was "no sentimental dreamer, no mere dealer in empty platitudes, but the unflinching realist that only a great mystic can be".

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

Publisher's Summary
An Oprah Bookclub 2016 Selection
The highly anticipated memoir by best-selling author Glennon Doyle Melton, Love Warrior tells the story of her journey of self-discovery after the implosion of her marriage.
Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out - three happy children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times best seller list - her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life.
Love Warrior is the story of one marriage, but it is also the story of the healing that is possible for any of us when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on. This astonishing memoir reveals how our ideals of masculinity and femininity can make it impossible for a man and a woman to truly know one another - and it captures the beauty that unfolds when one couple commits to unlearning everything they've been taught so that they can finally, after 13 years of marriage, commit to living true - true to themselves and to each other.
Love Warrior is a gorgeous and inspiring account of how we are born to be warriors: strong, powerful, and brave; able to confront the pain and claim the love that exists for us all. This chronicle of a beautiful, brutal journey speaks to anyone who yearns for deeper, truer relationships and a more abundant, authentic life.

A good examination of Pain, Hope and Love.
I have never heard of Ms Melton before reading this book, and that may explain much about my review. Perhaps if I had read her previously I would give this one more than 3 stars ... or would have skipped reading it.
I really liked the first half of the book. Her insight into love, loss, hope, pain and self is something that spoke to me. I saw my marriage in this book. I saw my hopes in it too. I was impressed by her ability to take the lovely and loveless moments of life and put them into words which were so raw and real. But then the book became more of a lecture or a sermon and it lost me. I understand that she is a believer and that she attributes the repair of her marriage to God working through her husband and herself. But it seemed too simplistic. I would have liked the book so much better if she more fully examined the hardness of the pain, the grief, the difficulty of accepting the changes and finally the growth of the love and forgiveness. I wish there had been more depth to the exploration of the pain.

An outstanding take on healing and self discovery
Glennons truth and voice are refreshing and real. I found so much of myself in this story about what it truly means to love, heal, and discover who you truly are. No spoilers here but I truly believe everyone should read this book. Absolutely outstanding. I laughed. I cried. I saw myself.

We are all spoiled....
First, I will say I like Glennon's style of writing and can respect her ability to share so much of her journey with readers. I guess what stands out to me is how spoiled so many of us are today. I kept thinking that she was lucky to be able to attend a college (even if she took advantage of it) or what a luxury for her to be able to stay at home full time with her young children. And who was paying her rent and bills when her world was falling apart around her? It all just seems so whiny of us to constantly complain and seek fillers. So many people in the world are hungry or abused or living in war-torn towns and villages. The last thing they have to focus on is themselves. We could all benefit from focusing on others--- instead of self. I did enjoy the book and took away several good ideas and reflections. It's worth a read or listen. Maybe just check it out at the library though. Just being honest.

Humanizing..
Glennon tells a story that makes you feel not alone in a world that is so disconnected. She's raw and real and has shown bravery (and her families and especially husband) to tell her journey to healing her own cultural traumas. I think so many women can identify with her and her message about body connection and wisdom is a needed one. And her messages about compassion and understanding throughout the hardships of marriage are a testament to her good character. 5 stars, loved it, couldn't listen fast enough.

Cover to cover.
I could not put it down. I saw myself, my daughters, my parents, my marriage and the marriage of my daughter inall of this. A touching, honest and painfully true story that is more common than we'd like to think. I enjoyed every minute of it while being tortured by much of it as well. I will make different decisions as a result of reading it. What more could one ask for from a book.

Disappointing
I have to break away from the crowd and join DownSouthDiva and Reademandweep in their negative reviews of this book. Glennon Doyle Melton's self-portrayal is disturbingly narcissistic, and hers is not a voice I will ever want to listen to again (although, perhaps, it was perfect for this whiny memoir). I was hesitant to buy the book, since I have been disappointed more than once by Oprah's picks, but after seeing Ms. Melton on the CBS Morning News, I thought there might actually be some thought-provoking stuff in this book. I will admit that I found a bit of such stuff in the first half, but the story became so tedious and repetitive as it progressed that I began to lose heart. Then came God (after drugs, alcohol, sex, and bulimia didn't do the trick), at which point I definitely lamented my "against my better judgment" decision. It is clear to me that Glennon Doyle Melton jumps from "cure" to "cure" (e.g., therapy, yoga, meditative breathing) for her self-indulgent angst. She's only 40 years old; I fully expect a sequel to Love Warrior in which we find that her happy ending was just one more temporary fix.

Starts out great but takes a sharp right hand turn
Would you try another book from Glennon Doyle Melton and/or Glennon Doyle Melton?
No, probably not
Would you recommend Love Warrior (Oprah's Book Club: A Memoir) to your friends? Why or why not?
I would not...it starts out great and it is an interesting story and read well but turns into what feels like one long mommy blog entry. When the character starts seeing the therapist is when it lost me...the language, the story seemed contrived and super super religious.
What three words best describe Glennon Doyle Melton’s performance?
theatrical, religious, predictable
Did Love Warrior (Oprah's Book Club: A Memoir) inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to look more into an author when i am reading a memoir
Any additional comments?
I was not familiar with Melton's blog or background...if i knew that religion of the traditional sort was so prevelant in her writing, i wouldnt have listened. I get it...you love god. Some of the story was completey unbelievable, i.e. the long rant on explaining "sexy" to her small children.....there is no way to small girls sat and listened to a long explanation of what sexy meant. Unrealistic and the phrase " on the bathroom floor" was way overused. I bought this book because Elizabeth Gilbert endorsed it.....Melton has definately read Eat Pray Love....way to much of the same verbage.

She sounds like a sociopath....
Good book, but I keep getting the sense that she is a sociopath, trying to adapt to situations, the way she thinks others would find acceptable. She describes herself as having a “ representative “a alter ego or in other words herself pretending to be someone she isn’t to fit into the social norm.
She seems to repeat the notion that she “doesn’t feel“the way she feels she should , or the way others would in certain situations throughout her life.
She describes how she didn’t shed one tear when she decided to break it off with her first love, the same guy she lost her virginity to and adds that she couldn’t understand why he was crying. Its to my understanding, this relationship was at least a year , if not longer, first love, sex and she can’t shed a tear or understand why he was , after breaking up with first love??? She described an instance,where she was told by a friend, that her bf( same guy as before) had been to spring break and was put in jail while there. Allegedly, he was accused of rape and subsequently let out when the police couldn’t validate her claim. She recounts this in the way someone would say they annoyed because her bf forgot something on the shopping list he took to the store. She also describes not shedding a tear after an abortion she has, and while not everyone will cry, there seems to be a pattern here and when one after another your experiencing situations where an emotional reaction is likely and even expected, yet you show no emotion each time and have to send your “ representative “ to act out emotions disingenuously, I feel there is something deeper going on.
She can’t seem to find anything in her life that is worth living for and was unhappy most of her life . She is totally unhappy which I find irritating, since she had what most would consider , is an “ ideal childhood” and basically given everything she wanted. She wasn’t bullied, she had friends and people who loved her. She comes across ungrateful and a bit neurotic.
She talks about how she senses when someone is upset by the look on their face or tone of the voice and her response to those upset with her is simply a middle finger , she actually says “f u.”
To me, she sounds like a sociopath but is not aware or nor has even considered that possibility, yet is constantly self shaming and self medicating with booze and bulimia , because she can’t understand why she is not happy . Why she doesn’t know how to feel on her wedding day and asks why others are happy, wondering if she should act happy on her wedding day if that’s how everyone feels when they get married people feel .
She is a female sociopath, she doesn’t feel the emotions like a non sociopath would. She acts and puts on fronts for others when she thinks it’s appropriate, and she can’t understand herself at all.
