In this booklet Father Richardson brings to our consciousness a treasury of insights that flow from Christ's words, "Love your neighbor as yourself." With an encouraging display of enthusiasm he shows us that we can't truly love others unless we sincerely love ourselves; that we have all kinds of hang-ups and faults because we do not love ourselves properly; that we hurt others because we lack the right kind of self-love.
In no way does Father Richardson deny or minimize such Christian virtues as humility and self-sacrifice, but rather reconciles them with the need to love oneself and others in a positive, intelligent, cheerful manner. A very delightful book . . . with a challenging invitation to love yourself more intensely so that you can love others with a greater, richer, more Christ-like love.
