Expert book, merely meant for a Christian audience I limited my review to just iii stars considering the book is truly meant for a Christian audience and I know that might not sit well with some people. Small references to scripture go paragraphs as to why you should be a good spouse and reconcile because of God and non considering you should give your spouse a risk due to the love yous still accept for them. Nobody is perfect and Chapman does his best to permit his audition know that through self healing and with a strong support organisation as well every bit a thirst to exist improve that there is a chance to reconcile.
I however enjoyed the volume and capeesh the letters as at that place was still a lot to larn and take from every chapter. Regardless of your background, taking a step back to look at your marriage from some other perspective never hurts and beats the hurting you might experience from non fixing it.

This book is a smashing exam of marriage from the protestant and secular point of view. Catholics may accept a little trouble, but if they do it will only exist because of the lack of Sacramental presentation.

"Throughout the Bible, God is pictured as having a dear relationship with His people—in the Old Testament with Israel and in the New Testament with the church. On many occasions God has found Himself separated from His people, not of His choosing but of theirs. In a sense, the entire Bible is a tape of God's attempts to be reconciled to His people." — 0 likes
