"Human existence cannot be sustained without love. If we fail to implement it consistently, each of us, in our own way, will share the responsibility for the demise of the human race and the environment." -- J. Kevin Abraham
The Greeks had a name for it-agape (pronounced a-góp-pay)-meaning the purest, most profound kind of love. And yet it was a mystery to them, and has remained a mystery until now. In this fascinating, in-depth exploration of the essence of love, J. Kevin Abraham succeeds in solving the mystery. In his quest to identify specific characteristics of agape, he arrives at what some may see as a surprising yet unequivocal conclusion about the source of all love.
But this is no ordinary philosophical treatise. Abraham has chosen to reveal the truth about agape within the context of a powerful story about three people working in a Pittsburgh steel mill one summer during the racially charged 1960's. You will meet Adam Sapien and Charles Johnston, two young men-one white, one black-who become friends, and the displaced teacher from the Deep South who plays a pivotal role in their lives. What she teaches Adam about love is contained in an ancient book called Agape, a book that will change his life-and yours-forever.
Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair. -- William Blake
