In the English language, the word "love" is so feeble that it requires the help of a bushel basket of adjectives. As a result, it also is easily misconstrued or misused. The Greek language has four words for love: agapē, storge, eros and philia. And, four words are needed. Very briefly-Agapē unconditional love. Storge: family love. Philia: friend love. Eros: marital love.Agapē is the mother of the other three. They are her children. The more agapē that you have the more of the others you will have. Agapē enriches everything.David weaves together personal experiences, shared experiences, Old Testament verses, New Testament verses, lyrics from old hymns, lyrics from new faith songs and quotes from theologians and pastors old and new to bring a deep understanding of agapē.You want to love unconditionally (agapē)?

His novels have been sold in eleven territories round the world. Before becoming a full-time author, David was a senior journalist with the BBC's international radio and TV newsrooms for more than 25 years. He writes in his Twickenham garden shed and in a caravan on the Isle of Wight. The Stasi Game, his sixth novel, is available to pre-order now. You can follow him on Twitter @djy_writer
