Bring love into action one small step at a time.

In a world that often feels divided and dark, On Love reveals how everyday moments can become transformative acts of love. Drawing from their rich life experiences, Paul and Janet Chilcote offer twenty essential practices that anyone can begin immediately—no special training required. Each chapter shares relatable stories and simple practices that fit naturally into your daily routines, from making meaningful eye contact to creating beauty in ordinary spaces.

Through refreshingly honest personal stories and down-to-earth wisdom, the Chilcotes show how small shifts in the way we interact with the world create ripples of positive change:

Turn a hostile interaction into a moment of genuine connection
Find hope even in challenging circumstances
Listen in ways that make others feel truly valued
Create spaces of welcome in an increasingly isolated world
Discover joy in simplifying your life

Written in an everyday conversational manner, On Love reads like a heart-to-heart talk with trusted friends who understand life’s complexities. This book meets you exactly where you are and invites you to discover how love transforms everything it touches.

No homework, no complicated spiritual practices—just twenty simple ways to bring more love into your life and our world, starting with your next interaction.

With your purchase of On Love, you’ll receive access to a free downloadable digital Companion Guide designed to help you get the most from these twenty transformative practices. Its flexible format allows you to use it for personal reflection and with small groups.

The six-session guide includes:
Weekly scripture connections that illuminate each practice
Focus verses for contemplation
Simple reflection questions to deepen your experience
Practical guidance for implementing each practice in daily life
