Love Warrior

Product Information

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 has become my favourite book thanks to the extraordinary leading character, her inspiring story and all the insights written in a way that melted my heart and opened my mind. When I’m fully armored, I head to the basement and stay up late with the boys and sleep in with the boys and I beat them in drinking contests and out-cocaine them line for line. She wrote and she wrote, and now she is sharing her story with all women because it is about self-discovery, love, mind, body, and soul.In her memoir, Love Warrior, Melton lays bare the story of their broken marriage and path to reconciliation, including how she came to answer her husband’s question—and her realization of how she also needed to ask God the same question.

But this book was just released in September and she is already pronouncing her love for another woman. There on the bed, in her pigtails and pain, my daughter was me — the little girl I once was, the woman I am now, still struggling to answer the questions: How can I be expansive and free and still be loved?I had no idea of its connection to Oprah’s Book Club either, as that info was not in the e-book edition I read. I’m sad that women are looking outside of the church to be discipled because they are starving for theological answers. Maybe the beautiful girls will have me if I just wear the right costume, smile more, laugh right, watch the leader's cues, and show no mercy, no vulnerability. Sex isn’t something that I have, really, it just happens to my body while I’m up here, waiting for it to be over . This is a big, stunning, buoyant, honest, raw glimpse into the life of an astonishing woman, but it is also a punch in the face to anyone anywhere who believes that this is just how it is and it’s not going to get any better.
