#1 New York Times Bestseller | Oprah's Bookclub 2016 Selection
"Riveting...a worthy investment...this book has real wisdom."
â??New York Times Book Review
"Provocative....I adore her honesty, her vulnerability, and her no-nonsense wisdom, and I know you will, too."
â??Oprah Winfrey
The highly anticipated memoir by bestselling author Glennon Doyle, Love Warrior tells the story of her journey of self-discovery after the implosion of her marriage.
Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured outâ??three happy children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times bestseller listâ??her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life.
Love Warrior is the story of one marriage, but it is also the story of the healing that is possible for any of us when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on. This astonishing memoir reveals how our ideals of masculinity and femininity can make it impossible for a man and a woman to truly know one anotherâ??and it captures the beauty that unfolds when one couple commits to unlearning everything they've been taught so that they can finally, after thirteen years of marriage, commit to living trueâ??true to themselves and to each other.
Love Warrior is a gorgeous and inspiring account of how we are born to be warriors: strong, powerful, and brave; able to confront the pain and claim the love that exists for us all. This chronicle of a beautiful, brutal journey speaks to anyone who yearns for deeper, truer relationships and a more abundant, au

After reading [b:Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed|15802944|Carry On, Warrior Thoughts on Life Unarmed|Glennon Doyle Melton|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1359054516s/15802944.jpg|21526100] -- my first introduction to [a:Glennon Doyle Melton|4175328|Glennon Doyle Melton|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1456767726p2/4175328.jpg] -- I found her website and preordered this title. To be clear, I'm a library reader. I seldom buy books. But I knew I needed to have my own copy even before it was released.

Powerful. Personal. Fiercely honest. None of Glennon's pain has been wasted. She has shaped what some might see as disaster it into a story threaded with stars of courage and hope.

I read with pencil in hand and found insight, truth, and bell-like phrases with every turn of the page. Here are a few lines that struck me. (I held back. There's much more!)

"We know we must decide whether to stay small, quiet, and uncomplicated or allow ourselves to grow as big, loud, and complex as we were made to be. Every girl must decide whether to be true to herself or true to the world. Every girl must decide whether to settle for adoration or fight for love."

"Expecting less than true friendship in my most important relationship is so depressing."

"Every time I fling an internal demon onto the blank page, the demon turns out to be much less scary than I thought she was. I am becoming less afraid of myself. ...Truth telling becomes my shame checker and my relief."

"It occurs to me that saving pornography on this computer is like pouring whiskey into Amma's sippy cup."

"We are each responsible for our own sanity."

"The only way to survive is to make no sudden movements, to get comfortable with discomfort, and to find peace without answers."

"Self-betrayal is allowing fear to overrule the still, small voice of truth."

"...Will I be able to trust myself? This is the critical question. So I do the hard thing. I build trust with myself. I want to be the kind of person who will take care of me."

"But the paradox of pain is that it is only universal in retrospect. In the present, it is fiercely personal."

"Our story is the only thing we have that is completely our own."

"My fury is for every woman who's been told by the church that God values her marriage more than he values her soul, her safety, her freedom. My fury is for every woman who has been taught that God is man and man is God. My fury is for every woman who has been told that her bad marriage is the cross upon which she should hang herself."

"I owe nothing to the institution of Christianity -- not my health, not my dignity, not my silence, not my martyrdom. I do not answer to this place, I answer to God..."

"I do know what to do, just never more than one moment at a time."

On the two nights Glennon kept company with me I fell asleep wondering how she's doing and when she and I will meet for a cup of tea. We are definitely friends; we just haven't met yet. ( )

I thought this was good, very moving. Glennon's journey is interesting, but I am not religiously aligned myself, in this memoir religion is important and I prefer less religion. ( )

This was a book club and I got through half of it. Glennon Doyle Melton is a great writer, but at this moment in time I need books with tidy endings and not overly heart wrenching. Maybe I'll pick this back up at a later time.

This book affected me so deeply it's difficult to write a review. I am so grateful I won this in a reader giveaway... It might have been a long time before I got around to reading it otherwise, but as soon as I started it I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Glennon writes in a way I think we can all relate to on some level, but I could relate to so many things she experienced. I felt in some ways I'd been exactly where she has, but in others she gave me courage to keep pushing (or stay still, as it may be). I look forward to reading more of her work, and I especially look forward to the release of Love Warrior so I can give it to friends and family! ( )

I'm really torn about this book. In some ways, I admired her journey of self-discovery. But often I wanted to tell her to stop whining and just get on with it. And I feel really sorry for her husband whose worst problems were exposed to the reading public as part of his wife's self-discovery. I hope he signed a waiver or got a percent of royalties for allowing his darkest secrets to be portrayed in a negative light. There were several spots I wanted more detail - so she stopped years of drinking and bulimia when she discovered she was pregnant; surely it couldn't have been all that easy. She learned to accept her husband's years of infidelity through therapy, yoga, and attending a church (I'm assuming UCC by the descriptions). Because of her wealth, familial support, and overall security, she had opportunities most women in abusive or troubled relationships don't have. I wonder if she ever realized how lucky she truly was.
