This review is from: A Gift of Love: Marriage As a Spiritual Journey (Paperback)

Not only is this a wonderful book about marriage, the principles it outlines can be used to create wonderful relationships with anyone--children, parents, friends, co-workers. Using her techniques can transform your life for the better. Her approach is so much more lasting, enriching and powerful than any other pyschological/marital counseling techniques out there. For a deeper, even more amazing exploration of the ideas touched on in this book, read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures", by Mary Baker Eddy. That book is the ultimate positive life-changer.
