description: Our culture is self-obsessed  in our schedules relationships and especially online. (Can you say selfie?) But in this near-narcissism people are less content than in decades past. Why? Because we forgot the joy that comes from putting others first. Doing so requires us to live alert listening for heart drops hints from those in our lives who need a helping hand or a generous dose of encouragement. Living alert lifts our own spirits showing us that blessing others blesses us even more. Listen Love Repeat offers biblical teaching and suggests doable actions that are simple heart-tugging sentimental even sneaky and hilarious. This  Presents scriptural examples of those who lived alert including Jesus who noticed those who least expected to be seen.  Explains the role of good works for followers of Christ. They arent our ticket to heaven but they are our marching orders on earth.  Gives creative ideas for showing love to friends and family and suggests practical ways to reach out to the lonely the marginalized the outcast and the odd duck. Additionally it helps you comfort the grieving showing what you can do when you dont know what to say.  Provides inspiration for blessing the necessary people in your life those often-overlooked souls who help you get life done every day and teaches you how to hug a porcupine by genuinely loving the hard-to-love.
