âThe word love is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb.â writes Bell Hooks in her book âAll about Love.â Concerned not only with love as romance and desire, but also a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive and healing for our nation, Hooks talks about how our power to love is much greater than we think, and draws attention to the barriers to love and lovelessness that exists in our society. This book, along with Marianne Williamsonâs âReturn to Loveâ, which Hooks refers to, are beautiful bibles of love.
