Synopsis
Who among us doesn't desperately need . . . Love. Period.
Synopsis
Love without conditions . . . acceptance that will change the world. Every one of us wants to be more than just accepted; Rudy shows us how to love people who are not like us. By truly understanding what Jesus meant when He said love is the greatest commandment of all, we learn how to love people—of different races, backgrounds, economic statuses, those who are physically or mentally challenged, dependent. Love. Period. is a message demonstrating the only way we get that kind of love is by giving it to others.
