Stephanie Bennett's Communicating Love provides perspectives and insights that will be singularly helpful to those who wish to improve relationships by bettering their communication skills.
The realm of communication does not lend itself to simplistic formulas and easy-to-follow steps. And no wonder, for each setting where communication occurs involves the many intangibles connected to the personalities and circumstances. Stephanie knows this and does a beautiful job of speaking generally enough to allow for plenty of flexibility, yet specifically enough that her readers can relate what is said to their peculiar setting.
A great deal of time is spent in our lives pursuing or avoiding communication. If we truly love other people then we must grow in our ability to listen to others, to explore the thoughts of others, and to value the concerns of others. This book will go a long way in stimulating and facilitating such important growth in our personal lives.
We live in a culture where the tentacles of technology are entangling themselves in our relationships, often negatively. Stephanie points the way for deeper and more meaningful relationships in a media-saturated society!
