The Why Am I Afraid to Love? (Revised) (Revised)

John Powell examines love as a spiritual and personal practice, asking why the desire for connection can be constrained by fear. The book addresses rejection, motivations for loving, self-understanding, and the challenge of setting aside self-interest in care for others. Grounded in a Christian understanding of the command to love one another, it frames these questions as part of spiritual growth while keeping attention on the inner barriers that can limit relationships. This revised edition presents Powell’s reflections in a compact format and pairs naturally with his companion volume, Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am?
