Too often we stop at I love you. Far too often we dont have the right words to convey the unique qualities we see and love in someone. This heartfelt book by Chris DuPr gives you examples of how to express your love in genuine, life-giving ways that are practical, simple, and honest. The Love Project will not only inspire you, it will change you as well as those around you. I absolutely love this book!

A physician once said, The best medicine for humans is love. Someone asked, What if it doesnt work? The physician smiled and said, Increase the dose.

Chris DuPr has written about a subject that he knows very welllove. If you want to know whats in a man, dont just listen to him; listen to those around him. Ive known Chris for almost twenty-five years and he is one of the most loved men I know. That just doesnt happen in a vacuum. Its because Chris knows something about how to love others well. The Love Project is the fruit of his many years of giving time and attention to all who come across his path. His reputation as a father to those around him is legendary. You would be well served to take hold of this book and glean all you can from it. It has within its pages the potential to change your life and to also change the world around you.

When talking about the ways of God, love reigns supreme. Chris not only knows the ways of God, but he personifies them. In The Love Project, through his characteristic lens of humor and a fathers heart, Chris shows us who we are in God and how we can become more of who we are meant to be. He makes the accurate observation that we tend to live out of the things we have experienced, but then he invites us to experience life in the atmosphere of God and to live out of the identity of the child who is perfectly and fully loved.

The Love Project. What a title! And what an amazing theme! Chris hits the central issue in all of life. His writing is poetic, articulate, and philosophical, yet reaches deeply into the heart of human need and desire. You must read this book! It will help you understand life, yourself, and your purpose for being here. Chris rightly points out that The Love Project started in heaven.

This world is desperately awaiting the one convincing proof that is neededthe simple power of love unleashed. The Love Project is a trumpet call awakening us to that very thing.

Weve known Chris DuPr for nearly a quarter century and have been pleasantly jarred by his unique ability to affirm us and clearly voice his love for us in very specific ways. Its not how we commonly speak to one another in this busy world. After reading The Love Project, we now see the why behind the what of Chris practical expressions of love. Whether its friendship, workplace, ministry, marriage, or family, Chris challenges each of us to give voice to our love for others in practical, meaningful ways that can change lives. Thank you, Chris, for your friendship and thank you for challenging us to love others more extravagantly as we initiate our own love project.

Ive been blessed to be Chriss friend since elementary school. If there ever was a modern-day David-and-Jonathan relationship, it is ours! Thanks for writing and living The Love Project, and for encouraging us all to be more intentional in our love for one another.

As you read The Love Project, you will discover that it is the gift that keeps on giving. As I was scanning it for a quick overview by myself, I got caught up and started reading every word to my wife Barbara, blurting out at intervals, Thats really great. Chris clarifies often-heard, familiar Scriptures with passion. There were also intervals of crying, laughing, and healing of my own heart. I told my wife, This book is like an emotional GPS, the Lord pointing us in the right direction. Ive had the privilege to know Chris for over twenty years and I can say that he is the real deal. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

There is a lot of God (i.e., Love) in Chris DuPr. I first met him when he was the worship leader at Catch the Fire Toronto. The positive impact of his worship leading and his heart so full of God are still being felt here. Chriss first book, The Wild Love of God, was a revelation of our Fathers love for us and impacted my life significantly. The Love Project carries that story on, not just for us, but for all those around us. Our churchs motto is this: To Receive Gods Love and Give It Away to Toronto and the World. Chris got a download of the manual on how to do that and he wrote it down for all of us. I cant see how you wont be blessed by this book.

In The Love Project, Chris DuPr has generated a culturally relevant and kingdom-minded message. In a time when the definitions of love are mixed up, and in many cases love is almost totally lacking, this is a most profound and timely book. Chris is one who lives the message of intentional affection. Therefore, as he lives it, he can give it. Now we need to get it, read it, and live it!

I have had the honor of knowing Chris DuPr and his amazing family since 1997. I personally know that the first four words Chris writes in the first chapter are a true statement! He loves ice cream; however, he loves people most. He loves people well. I have witnessed firsthand as Chris lived each of the chapters in this book. I have heard him speak these very paragraphs. Every word on every page is merely an overflow of his life as a husband, son, father, friend, and lover of God. I can think of no better person than Chris DuPr to write The Love Project , because he did not simply write about it; he has lived this way for years, and we get to glean gold nuggets from someone who makes it of great importance to love people well. In the age of social media where people rarely look each other in the eye as meetings, conversations, and conflict are more and more handled through e-mail, it is a crucial word straight from the heart of God for these days.
