The Fifth Love: Exploring Accounts of the Extraordinary

The Fifth Love: Exploring Accounts of the Extraordinary is a study of over 150 unpublished accounts of present-day experiences of overwhelming love. Spanning religious, spiritual and paranormal enquiry, the study shows that there is more to love than any earthly feeling, and provides compelling evidence that love can come to us-often when we need it most-from sources that transcend our current, physical world. Drawing on a rich range of dramatic testimonies, this book provides compelling evidence that these experiences of love share a common core and originate from a common source. Typically occurring at times of crisis and overwhelmingly positive and loving, these accounts provide ample testimony to the existence of a life-changing experience of love that is given to all, whether religious or not, and irrespective of age or background: a love literally not of this world.
