Reconciling RelationshipsXulon Press, 2008 - 152 sayfa There is hope for every relationship! In His Word, God gives clear directions, detailed word pictures and excellent examples of how to strengthen and reconcile relationships. There are instructions on how to fix relationships that were put together wrong, or have become unstable over time. The purpose of this book is to explore the Manufacturer's Handbook (the Bible) and discover what it says about how our thoughts, words and actions affect our relationships. We will learn that the key to reconciling relationships is nothing less than imitating God, and we will survey practical ways to do just that.
