Love Is

The aim of this book is twofold: (1) to show how a so-called Octaikon graphic can be used as a life-long educational tool to help imagine all sorts of secular and spiritual ideas related to love (2) to summarise the author's Christian understanding of these ideas. The intended readers were the author's extended family. However, it's also for anyone, of all ages, abilities, beliefs or none who are curious about how they live and move and have their being. It's not an academic treatise, but written by an enthusiastic amateur in search for what is true, good and beautiful - in short, lovely! Whether you are an atheist, New Ager, well-being guru, integral philosopher, or conservative Christian, the author hopes you will find something of value in the book about their meaning and purpose in life.
