In a world overflowing with romantic fantasies and social media illusions, “LOVE MATTERS: An Expedition to the Perspective of Love Theories for Well-Nourished Relationships” by Nason K. Joshua arrives as a breath of clarity and truth. This book isn’t just another relationship guide, it’s a transformative manual grounded in spiritual truth, emotional intelligence, and practical wisdom.
And the literary world is taking notice.
Nason Joshua has been named one of the top three Zambian writers under the Best of Spiritual and Religious Book Category invited to attend the prestigious 2025 COPPA Book Awards Ceremony, a glamorous event set to take place on June 27th, 2025, at Garden Court Hotel in Kitwe. His breakout book LOVE MATTERS has earned him a finalist spot in the Best Spiritual and Religious Book category, where he stands a strong chance of being named the 2025 COPPA Winner.
Why This Book Matters Now More Than Ever
Our generation is overwhelmed by heartbreaks, identity crises, and failed relationships. We’ve traded divine principles for digital fantasies, and love has become performance art rather than genuine connection. Nason Joshua, a young yet profoundly insightful minister of the gospel, identifies this crisis and offers “LOVE MATTERS” as a powerful solution.
This is not a book filled with clichés, it’s a deeply reflective, raw, and real conversation about the foundational principles of love, dating, and marriage.
What’s Inside the Book?
1. Biblical & Practical Definitions of Love
Joshua goes beyond fluffy expressions and breaks down love as sacrifice, patience, kindness, humility, and truth, using scriptural references (1 Corinthians 13) and practical metaphors that speak to both the heart and the mind.
2. The Power of Oneness and Synergy
He uses the law of synergy to illustrate how true love is about unity, two people working in tandem, not one consuming the other. Relationships thrive where value, respect, and cooperation are mutual.
3. The Dangers of Superficial Love
From Photoshop-perfect images on social media to misguided expectations in dating, the book shines a light on the pitfalls of being attracted to an image instead of the person. One of his striking lines: “Don’t fall in love with the image; fall in love with the owner of the image.”
4. Character vs. Beauty
Joshua unapologetically emphasizes that “character outgrows beauty.” He shares personal anecdotes and wise counsel to encourage readers to prioritize godly values over aesthetics and performance.
5. Setting Godly Standards
He passionately advocates for abstinence before marriage, emotional integrity, and seeking partners who are spiritually aligned. His “No Marriage Before Marriage” principle calls out the modern trend of trial-and-error intimacy.
6. Self-Love and Personal Growth
Before loving someone else, he writes, one must learn to love and value themselves. This message is essential in a time when people look outward for validation, only to find disappointment.
7. Red Flags and Relationship Pitfalls
Through parables and real-life scenarios, the book calls out manipulative dating behaviors, over-spiritualization, shallow motivations (like money or physical appeal), and “situationships” that never lead anywhere.

- Young people navigating the confusing world of modern relationships
