Book review: by Angie J.Rose


Bob and Judy Hughes have put together what can best be described as a book that can potentially be the next ''Purpose Driven Life'' in terms of life changing, perspective enlarging content. ...

About Bob and Judy Hughes:

Bob Hughes was in private practice for 30 years as a Marriage and Family
Counselor, and currently practices as a consultant to individuals,
families, and church leaders. He holds an M.A. in Counseling and a Ph.D.
in Psychology. He is a popular speaker and is known for his unique
ability to apply biblical truth in life-changing ways.

Judy Hughes has a B.A. in Communications. She has worked in public
relations and as a correspondence assistant for Dr. James Dobson at
Focus on the Family. She ministers to women through counseling, Bible
studies and support groups. Together with her husband, Bob, she directs
Love Focused Ministries.

I think Love Focused will become known as one of the best Christian books of the decade. It has been years since I have read such a fresh, honest address to some of life’s greatest and most common problems.


Bob and Judy’s friendly writing style ease you along real life changing help. The beauty of this work is its’ simplicity and biblical foundation. Not shy to quote scriptures of note, so others can discover their wisdom, the Hughes' tone is not one bit ‘’preachy’’ but casual and honest.


I read it at home, took it with me to read on appointments, etc. but every time I started to read it I couldn’t put it down. The title gives you an indication of what it is about, but I would add that it is more than a book ‘’about something’’ it is a book that will cause you to ‘’do’’ something. It should be required reading in schools, colleges, the workplace and yes especially churches!


You can probably tell that I thoroughly enjoyed Love Focused, the truth is I have read many books, Christian and secular and very few have earned the privilege to be read again, let alone, dog-eared, tabbed, underlined and keep in a handy place at all times.


Warning, if you want to waltz down life on cruise control don’t read this book! It will definitely challenge you to at very least change gears, maybe even slow down and smell some occasional roses. The word agenda will never again have the same meaning to you. You may even come face to face with your ‘’true self’’ in the mirror. Ouch….


It will definitely offer you a completely new approach to life. I can only imagine what would happen to even one city if everyone there read it. If you are looking for a clinical term laden, dry psychology manual you’ll be disappointed. There is a companion workbook that is also available, and although I have not personally read it, I can only imagine it has the same quality and though provoking content as the book.
Thank you Bob and Judy for being blatantly honest and caring enough to write such a book!
