The Love We've Been Missing

We’ve been taught to chase love like a feeling — sparks, butterflies, fireworks. But feelings fade. And when they do, most of us assume love is gone too. That’s the lie that has hijacked love for generations.

This book is the reset.

The Love We’ve Been Missing uncovers a revelation hidden in plain sight: all of 1 Corinthians 13 — the most famous passage on love ever written — can be summed up in just two words: patience and kindness .

That’s it. Not a checklist of 15 impossible traits. Not a lofty ideal. A way of life anyone can practice, in marriage, parenting, friendship, leadership — even with strangers.

Through personal testimony, biblical clarity, and modern science, Calvin Terrell Mann II shows how this simple equation doesn’t just inspire love, it transforms it:

• How patience can stop fights before they spiral.
• How kindness can rebuild trust where it was shattered.
• How science itself now confirms what Scripture said all along: patient, kind love isn’t just moral — it’s measurable .

This isn’t another sentimental book about love. It’s a practical, spiritual, and culture-shifting invitation to become love — not just feel it.

If love has ever felt too complicated, too heavy, or too out of reach, this book will show you what you’ve been missing.
