Author Description

Author Adam M. Dean has a severe speech impediment. But, he doesn't equate having a disability with suffering. Adam believes that all of us, no matter our circumstances, suffer in some way. So, he views himself as an ordinary person, albeit one with a unique perspective. Adam believes that perfect love, as exemplified by Christ's sacrificing Himself for Humankind, is the key to salvation. Perfect love comprises (1) the ability not only to love, but to be loved; (2) the courage to suffer; and (3) forgiveness-not only for others, but also for ourselves. Adam discusses these concepts and how they apply to relationships between significant others and family members, among the wider human family, and most importantly, between ourselves and God.
