“Imagine if Tom Wolfe had been born in 1975 and instead of writing 'Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers' in 1970, he'd have written a book about the state of society and it's obsession with social media, internet fame and all of the intricacies that go along with it. On shrooms.

It is not enough to present the wisdom of love as a credible line of thought; the text must also leave the reader with a renewed sense of being in touch with the most compelling component in human life. It must move the heart as well as the mind. If, however, my writing elicits only an emotional response, I will have failed to trace the influence of love as it presses its way into every aspect of human existence—not only in personal relationships in families and faith communities, but in b...
