September 10, 2011"Whenever you feel a negative emotion be alone in a room and just sit down with it and feel. Don't judge it, criticize it, intellectualize it, explain it away. Allow yourself to feel the pain. It's okay. Accompany it - breathe into it - and after a while, you'll feel the anger or fear or sadness lose it's urgency and power. Allow God to tenderly embrace you in your pain. And then, at the right time, you can let go."

I'm not really digging this book because I'm a girl who's not looking for any romantic relationship. Why did I gave a 5 stars rating? Because my favorite author wrote this book! Anything Bo Sanchez count me in! He inspires me to be a good Christian and reminds me to give love to everyone.
I'm going to reread this when I'm ready to find my one true love lol.

Just read it today (9-24-08) though it had been in my real bookshelf for a year now. i originally bought it for my sis when i saw her scanning it inside a bookstore. i told myself "why not buy it?" it could be an addition to my bo sanchez's bookshelf.
i read yesterday a spoiler to this book. i don't agree with her but neither would i counter argue her since we are all entitled to make an opinion.
for me the book is very informative. it does not only give you the abc's of how to find the man you want to spend the rest of your life with but also provide you an additional information on how to continue growing as a person. the book could slap you from the fairytale-world you created and wake up to reality. i particularly like the part he discussed on asking for a sign, taking decision (since it's always my problem) and breaking my routine from tv-to-ref and back (though i'm not a couch potato) i have been a work-home-place of worship kind of person.
if you intend to read this book i suggest that YOU APPROACH IT WITH OPEN MIND. that so, you could welcome new ideas and opinion and not be disappointed because it didn't met your expectations. after all that's what usually books are written for, to give us new information. it's just up to us what to do with the idea.

Finished it in one sitting. This one was an eye opener. I just realized I was doing it all wrong all along!
No wonder why.
God's will is so much bigger than what we thought. ^_^
PRAY + NO ACTION = EPIC FAIL
PRAY + ACTION + DISCERNMENT = FINDING YOUR ONE TRUE LOVE
Just waiting for your prince charming won't lead you to it.
Talk to a lot of guys. Build friendships. Be attractive. Be flirtsome.
Enjoy life and be happy. Love and respect yourself.
Know your deepest desire. Discern.
Decide when you feel good about yourself.

I don't really believe in reading books like this before but after finishing it, I think I'll change my mind. I think it's very realistic and inspiring that you would end up reflecting and assessing things in your life. It's not just about finding love overall but it's more about changing some of your wrong beliefs about being single and "alone." It's about accepting yourself, owning your weaknesses and flaws, and believing that you have a purpose as a daughter/child of God.
I highly recommend this to you.

This is a very local, basic and down-to-earth book on how to find your one true love. Bo Sanchez delivered an easy and sometimes hard way on how to find our soulmate (depending on how we see it). He's right that a man and a woman must 'choose to love first the Lord and him/herself before finding and choosing "The One.'

This book totally burst my bubble. But then I still choose to believe in my own perception about love. After all, I'm still young LOL..:))

The title is definitely mushy. I admit that I felt a bit embarrassed when I bought this and I even placed it face down on the counter upon paying, afraid to get judged by the cashier and the person behind me. But you know what – I can now honestly say that this is one of the best books I’ve ever bought for myself.
Bo Sanchez is a Catholic preacher but this book is not for the overly spiritual, nor is it for the overly romantic. This book will shock your brains out, he even warns. Targeting "mature singles" nearing 30 years and older, he busts myths such as having one person out there that’s meant for you, or that love can conquer all. He also guides the reader in taking deliberate - not desperate - actions and how to choose wisely.
He does all that in a funny, reprimanding (but also gentle) way that’s easy to understand. It’s short so you can also finish it in one sitting. Here’s an excerpt:

One intelligent woman told me, “Bo, there’s this guy who’s courting me. He’s OK. He’s kind, he’s responsible, he has a good job…”
“Umm, I could hear a ‘but’ coming…”
She laughed. “How did you know?”
“My job.”
“Bo, I don’t have feelings for him!” she bit her lip.
“No violin music playing in the background, huh?”
“None. When I see him, the background music I hear is "lululalu lalulalulalei…”
I looked at her, “Listen. You don’t need a magical first moment to meet your potential husband. The important things are mature character, financial responsibility, the ability to commit, compatible mission and values…”
I actually met this girl again in her wedding, and before she marched down the aisle, she whispered to me, “Do you hear the violin music, Bo? It’s loud and clear.”
It doesn’t have to be love at first sight.
In fact, marriages with the least adjustments are those between friends who’ve known each other for years before they realize that they’re good marriage material.
What is love at first sight?
Many times, it’s lust at first sight. Or infatuation at first sight.
Here’s the truth: It takes a moment to experience infatuation but true love takes a lifetime.

For all Catholic singles especially in South East Asia where the culture of asking "when is your wedding day?" or "are you still single?" is becoming a must-asked-question on meeting friends and relatives, which may have caused a deep misunderstanding with the concept of vocation of marriage, celibate life, or religious life. Here, Bo explains and break those myths in a very straight to the point with real-life examples and humour. Although he is from the Philippines, it's very much applies in Indonesia.
HTFYOTL made me realised that true love needs actions, not just wishful thinking of having someone in a white horse, ready to climb the tower, to save you from distress. Bo also emphasize on the importance of male courting female (not the other way around), how character attracts (not just physical and everything we do) and how being straightforward in speaking about your intention save a lot of time dating people you don't really attracted to.
The book doesn't very much implied on teachings of the Church, no bible verses, but still in accordance to her views. The language isn't that hard to understand, and his tips are so very applicable. I recommend this book to all my single, Catholic friends (especially them) in their 20s leading to 30s or above, who are all ears for any dating and marriage advice from Bo.

It was funny and I learned so much from it. The myths that we shouldn't believe and rely on. Every singles out there must read it. It will change your perspective in many ways. Thumbs up!

What I have read in this book are gems! It presented practical discussions and rational solutions. This wasn't boring nor heavy to take in. Mr Bo never condemned his readers but instead preached lovingly. However, one must be open and ready for the wisdom that this shares. Some details may shock and break personal and long time beliefs. This was totally worth reading!
But if you’re ready to change your life, change your beliefs, (and possibly change your status!) and have the guts to do it, then I dare you, go ahead.
Let me tell you why I consider myself an expert in getting heavenly guidance when you make the big decisions in life: Because I made the most mistakes.
Figuratively, don’t make decisions during the night of confusion. Sleep over it, and make decisions when you wake up in the morning and feel better.
What may give you so much happiness later may, in the short-term, give you misery. So discern well.
Enjoy the Journey Of Discerning God’s Will. All the zigs and zags. All the bumps and jumps. All the twists and turns. It’s all part of this package called Life.
It’s no longer understood in terms of “destiny” and “fate,” but by the fact that we chose each other out of billions of people.
I’ve long learned that any kind of growth requires risk.If you don’t risk, you don’t grow.

Wait what did I just read?
This is a reminder to me to spend on books and take the time to read instead of scrolling through socmed for an hour or two.
This book did not only put the 8 sure steps to find your wife/husband (which is going to be the most important decision for life) but also destroyed overly spiritual beliefs on dating. If I hadn't read this book, I would be miserable who knows for 10 more years simply because I don't know how to take charge not just my dating life, but my life in its entirety - how to open myself to a whole new different world of opportunities, of abundance, adventure, and self-discovery.
Thank you Bo Sanchez for this packaging of wisdom!

This book has opened my mind about the relationship, which is totally different compare to what the world has said about that. Accompanied by some steps, action plans, and also myths, it has rich content with practical experience in our daily life. Even the gender-view in this book is directed to a woman, I still can relate it as a man.
I've known Bo Sanchez from the LOJF community and his "Full Tank" video, reading one of his old books made me realize that he is a persistent guy that believes in himself and willing to share it with the world.

Okay rin. Something different to read. This was actually the first Bo Sanchez book I read. Bigay sa akin ng friend kong si Yanille kasi atat na sya magkaboyfriend ako. Nakakatuwa lang kasi easy read yung libro. Knowing Bo Sanchez, I thought it will be filled with bible scriptures but it wasn't. It had that friendly tone na parang kaibigan mo yung nag a-advise sayo. Cool rin kasi yung advise nya, something really different from what I have believed in. Good read sya.

Beyond my expectation!
I would suggest this book to single women out there.
At first, I thought the author will speak in perspective religiously as a Christian. But it’s opposite, actually this book serves content in general. Which is can apply to all circumstances in your life.
And I’m so grateful that I could find this book, also read and absorb its meaning well.

When i read this i was probably 14 at that time. It was not appropriate for me at that age but it let me realize that true love really comes in Gods right time.
