Called 2 Love: The Uhlmann Story: a journey of self-discovery and joy-filled connection - eBook

Steve and Barbara Uhlmann are the founders of and heartbeat behind the Agape Project, LoveLikeJesus.com, The Intentional Community, and the Called 2 Love Initiative. After a financially successful career in the global plastics industry, Steve and Barbara came to the realization that they were married yet emotionally alone. Ghosts from the past and a health crisis in the present could have marked the end of it all. Instead, it denoted a new and wonderful beginning. Their journey from emotional woundedness to wholeness shows all of us how we can experience an ongoing relational intimacy with the one we love. The Uhlmanns have two adult children, six grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. They reside in Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

Between their social image and pick-and-choose Christian beliefs, Steve and Barbara Uhlmann had actually managed to fool a lot of people—primarily themselves. They had propped up a grand illusion that they were living out a pretty decent love story when all along it wasn’t even close. When ghosts from their past finally exposed how shallow their love actually was, it could have marked the end of it all. Instead, it marked a new and wonderful beginning. It took a lot of raw honesty and bare-knuckled forgiveness to get there, but they found a love that few couples ever find. Fortunately, their story shows all of us how we can find it too.
