Bruce R. Norton – Author & Advocate

About Me

I'm Bruce Norton, and my journey to faith wasn’t typical. I didn’t grow up in church—in fact, I was raised in an agnostic home. But in 2006, during a time of personal crisis, something began to stir in me. I sought out faith-based counseling—almost instinctively—and heard the parable of the unmerciful servant for the first time.

That story changed everything. I had always believed forgiveness was something you gave to help someone else feel better. But Scripture showed me that true forgiveness is about the transformation of your own heart. That shift in perspective opened a door I didn’t even know was there.

Not long after, I attended a church musical—A Wild, Wild Christmas. It was upbeat and joyful, but unexpectedly, I found myself in tears. I couldn’t explain it. I just knew something deep inside me was breaking open. When the pastor invited us to commit our lives to Jesus by filling out a simple blue card, I didn’t hesitate.

That night—December 17, 2006—I crossed the line of faith. No fanfare. No big production. Just a quiet, decisive yes to Jesus. And that yes changed the course of my life.

True Love

What would happen if someone decided to love others as we are taught to do in the Bible?

Bruce Norton dared to find out, and what he discovered changed his life forever.

True Love is a raw, deeply personal journey into the transformative power of love, not the easy kind, but the costly kind. The kind of love that shows up in hospital rooms, school buses, courtrooms, and broken homes. The kind of love that refuses to walk away when things get messy.

Through powerful true stories, reflections, and scriptural wisdom, Bruce invites readers to step into a life that is richer, deeper, and more fulfilling not because it is easier, but because it is real. With honesty, humor, and unwavering faith, he explores five types of love, how to recognize them, how to live them, and how they can heal what the world discards.

This book will challenge and inspire you if:

You've ever wondered if your love matters.

You're burned out on shallow relationships.

You long to live with more purpose, more passion, and more compassion.

Answering the question changed Bruce's life.
