Words for Love

Words for Love brings together short stories and poems on the manifold meanings of love. Touched with hope, humour and spiritual insight, these pages reflect on love's varied expressions - including love for strangers, friendship, romance, worship and grace.

"This is a beautiful book; it makes you wonder. It's a challenging book; it makes you consider all the different types of love for which the ancient Greeks had words, and yet we're just stuck with one ... Lose yourself in it. I did."

Nicola McCartney

"I recommend you read this, whether in bites or gulps. Human words and human love may pass away, but as Forrest shows in every page, they're no less meaningful.

'Love puts on a jacket

walks past the nightclubs of Sauchiehall Street

finds you, sits down beside you and says

You're worth more than this, you're worth more than this.' "

JuEunhae Knox

"I have read this book a million times. I'm about to read it one more."
