Publisher's summary

Scott Stabile's parents were murdered when he was 14. Nine years later, his brother died of a heroin overdose. Soon after that, Stabile joined a cult that would dominate his life. Through all these challenges, Stabile grew stronger and more committed to living his life from love. He forgave the man who murdered his parents, found compassion for his late drug-addicted brother, and finally walked away from the cult leader who had controlled his life for 13 years. He writes about these experiences and many other personal milestones in ways that are universally applicable, uplifting, and even laugh-out-loud funny. Whether trying - as we all must - to silence shame, show up for friends, or overcome dreaded what-ifs, Stabile shares hard-won insights that will return listeners to love, both of themselves and of others.

Love Big Love

Really enjoyed this book! I felt so connected to Scott’s experiences. I laughed, cried and learned more about love. If you do a book signing, I’d show up! Thank you! -Ryan

Strong heart, Strong voice

Would you listen to Big Love again? Why?

Big love is a victorious story of finding joy and abundant love for self and others within ourselves despite traumatic events. Scoot Stabile has a beautiful and hopeful heart that is contagious in it's tenderness.

What other book might you compare Big Love to and why?

Whispers of Rest by Bonnie Gray resonates in the same way; a quiet and steady beauty found when we discover we are the beloved. We are worthy and we are enough.

What does Scott Stabile bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice is tender with conviction for freedom in love for all.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It could have moved faster but yes.

Wow! Came to me at the perfect time!!

It just so happens, that at this point in my life, I was struggling!!! Struggling with making bad choices, with forgiveness for others, forgiveness for myself, with healing and growth. Audibles had just introduced this new members perk of books you could listen to for free. 'Big Love' hmmm pretty big title i thought, guess it won't hurt to give it a try. Wow....perfect blend of a short biography while giving me so many things to ponder, accect and change in my own life. So much so, at times I felt like I was in a trance, like the words could or should have been coming directly from me!!!
Its time for me to really get off my butt and start living, learn to give big love, and also to recognize and receive it!!! Thank you, Scott Stabile, for sharing your story....it was definitely needed! Now I will start it from the beginning and take it all in again!!!

Excellent!

Scott's voice was as soothing to my ears as his message was to my heart.
He was so easy to listen to and the chapters seemed to fly by. Thank you Scott, well done!
