The Love Everybody Wants: What You're Looking For Is Already Yours by Madison Prewett Troutt Book Review

 

In The Love Everybody Wants, Madison Prewett Troutt explored the topic of love and where true love occurs. She was a contestant on The Bachelor in season 24. In the book, she will share her experience with her journey on singleness and finding love. She explained how God loves us unconditionally and we can all experience that. Scriptures instructs us to love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. Then next we are told to love our neighbor as yourself. She looked at what true love is and we can use 1 Corinthians 13 as an example to recall what we should be seeking in love. She wasn’t afraid to discuss the loaded questions such as, “Am I hard to love, Am I enough, and Will I ever get picked. She helped readers to pay attention to the thoughts that they have about themselves. She encouraged readers to remember what God says about them and how critical it is to replace the lies with His truths. Our worth can be found in the cross and how much He loves us. 

 

 

 

In the book, she looked at shame and how we can learn to break up with our shame. She told a personal story about how when she was 21 years old, she accidently left her boss a voicemail instead of her boyfriend at the time. She told him he was cute and that she missed him. She remembers her boss asking her about the call and she called and explained it to his wife. She remembers feeling ashamed and bad about the mix up. Many of us may be feeling ashamed about our past sins. She shared other stories about people being videotaped without her knowing. Shame harms our identity and affects our self-worth. It can lead us down a bad path into our self-defeating thoughts and self-hatred. Shame ends when we realize who Jesus is and the power, He has over it. In His word, we are told we are forgiven. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book that touched on all aspects of singleness and true love. I loved how she chose to share about God’s incredible love and how we can experience a remarkable relationship with Christ. Each chapter has questions we can ask ourselves such as, “why did God allow that rejection to happen”. I also liked how she shared how she met the love of her life, Grant and what she learned along the way. This book is an excellent resource for single people and it will guide them through all the questions they may have about true love. This book is wonderful for single women and is written just for them.
