About the Book
Title: 21 Days of Love
Compiled by: Kathy Ide
Genre: Non-fiction, Devotional
Release Date: January 1, 2016
Love can be found in many treasured relationships: boyfriend-girlfriend, husband-wife, parent-child … with a special friend, teacher, or pet … in the kindness of a stranger. We even have a national holiday to celebrate love. The greatest love ever known is God’s abundant love for us, His children. And He often demonstrates that perfect love through imperfect people. These stories represent all kinds of love. Woven through each story is the sustaining hand of our loving heavenly Father. On Valentine’s Day—and every day—whether your life is chocolates and flowers or loneliness and pain … let these stories fill your heart with hope, peace, and most important, love.

My Review:
"21 Days of Love" Compiled by:Kathy Ide is a collection of 21 short stories that are about love and Valentine's Day but these stories are all reminders that God's love is for all times if we only accept it. These stories are all different situations and about real life and by different authors.
These stories are stories that can be read anytime of the year and especially when a reader is feeling unloved and needs a reminder that there is someone who loves us, Our Heavenly Father.
I don't think I have a favorite story in this collection because they all have a message to impart to us about love. I especially like the brief Life Application in which the authors shares how the fictional story relates to our day-to-day lives.
I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Kick off the new year with love!
21 Days of Love: Stories that Celebrate Treasured Relationships, book 3 in the Fiction Lover’s Devotional series, contains short fiction stories about all kinds of love. Boyfriend-girlfriend. Husband-wife. Parent-child. Teacher-student. Even love for pets and showing love to strangers. Since the greatest love ever known is God’s abundant love for us, His children, the sustaining hand of our loving heavenly Father is woven throughout. Each story is written by a different author and is followed by a brief Life Application in which the author shares how the fictional story relates to our day-to-day lives.
21 Days of Love has chapters written by well-known, best-selling novelists, including Susan May Warren, Sherry Kyle, Renae Brumbaugh, and New York Times best-selling author Cindy Woodsmall. There are also stories by writers you may not have heard of. At the end of each chapter is an author bio that gives some background information about the author. So if you really like a story you read, you can find out what else that author has written. You may just find some new names to add to your favorites list.
And if you haven’t read much Christian fiction, this devotional will give you a small taste of several different authors and genres, without having to commit to reading an entire novel. You might just discover that you actually love Christian fiction!
21 Days of Love, a finalist in the 2017 Selah awards, makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for friends and loved ones.Blog Stops
