Paul Zolman has created a new way to demonstrate the principles of love languages. It's a profound way to learn all five love languages to give them away. By giving them away, your vision will improve so that you can see them coming your way and respond appropriately. Paul developed a system for training young children in this love-giving system. Spoiler alert: it's a game where everyone wins. Paul is the international bestselling author of The Role of Love, but God is the author of love. In His wisdom, He placed us in various circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. God worked through Paul’s childhood experience of the opposite of love to transform the austere beginning and distaste it formed in him to create a method that changed his life of anger into loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style because of the regularity demonstrated in his family. He wanted a better life for himself and those within his influence. That is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In his book, you’ll find what helped him move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to someone who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance.
