What hooks does best is reveal that the true force of love lies in its spiritual, redemptive power, which can impact positively on humankind: "When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise," she writes. "They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny." <I>--Eugene Holley Jr.</I> 270045 2000 All About Love: New Visions (Bell Hooks Love Trilogy) total:960|5:365|4:355|3:178|2:44|1:18| 960 3885 1437 143 17607 0688168442 9780688168445 813 126 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166811581m/17607.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17607.All_About_Love_New_Visions 5 3 false Fri Jul 13 16:46:05 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 13 16:54:47 -0700 2007 more...]]> 17607 0688168442 9780688168445 813 126 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166811581m/17607.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17607.All_About_Love_New_Visions 5 1 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jun 25 19:58:34 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 10:15:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 17607 0688168442 9780688168445 813 126 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166811581m/17607.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17607.All_About_Love_New_Visions 3 1 false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 22:02:06 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 22 15:50:29 -0700 2008 more...]]> 218042 0060959479 9780060959470 145 17 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172792652m/218042.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/218042.All_About_Love_New_Visions 4 0 false Tue Jun 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 09:47:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 14:29:33 -0700 2009 All About Love: New Visions a few years ago in a bookstore, I was drawn by her idea that love should be regarded as a verb, not a noun.
