The author
Ronald E. Smith
Author of All About Love
Ronald E. Smith writes about love from God’s perspective. It is a subject he returns to not as an abstraction but as the one thing everything else depends on — the ground under a life, rather than a mood inside it.
He has served God for more than thirty years. He is a mentor and a veteran, and he writes from that long service rather than from theory — about love as the one thing everything else depends on, the ground under a life rather than a mood inside it.
In All About Love he sets out to make that perspective plain. The book is an invitation rather than a lecture: to stop measuring love by how it feels this week, and to begin seeing it the way God sees it — constant, foundational, and already present before we thought to look for it.
He is the author of three books — All About Love, Serving God with Heart and Hands, and Why Me — and is glad to hear from readers: questions about any of them, invitations to speak, and requests for signed or bulk copies all reach him through the contact page.
Why this book, why now
Almost everyone has had the experience of love turning out to be less durable than it promised. A friendship cools. A family fractures. A feeling that felt permanent simply is not there one morning. It is easy to conclude from that record that love itself is fragile.
All About Love offers the opposite conclusion. What is fragile is our feeling of love, not love. Look at it from God’s perspective and it turns out to be the one thing in existence that has never been in danger of failing — the foundation the rest of it rests on.
That is the whole of the invitation. The book is warm, and it does not ask you to become someone else before you begin.
