Rock-Solid Relationships: Strengthening Personal Relationships With Wisdom from the Scriptures [Hardcover]

Wendy L. Watson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2003

For thirty years as a marriage and family therapist, Dr. Wendy Watson Nelson worked with people who struggle with relationship problems — spouses who feel misunderstood and neglected; parents and children who find themselves at odds with each other; in-laws who clash; siblings who quarrel; neighbors who disagree; and associates in Church callings and in the workplace who don't work well together. In Rock Solid Relationships, Dr. Nelson offers powerful solutions to such conflicts and concerns. She concludes, “Experience has taught me that the word of God is more powerful than anything else in healing and strengthening relationships.” Rocky relationships can become rock-solid if those relationships have as their foundation The Rock, Jesus Christ, and His teachings on love, kindness, and mercy. It is His Power, Light, Love, Truth, and Spirit on which we must build. With this sure foundation, Rock-solid relationships bring an abundance of love and peace and joy to all involved. Rock Solid Relationships will change the way you look at others and yourself. It invited you to “experiment on the word” by practicing scripturally based, practical, and doable things that will enhance or improve the way you interact with the people who matter most in your life.

Review

Very Informative, September 12, 2008 by customer I really like how she takes stories from the scriptures and relates them to relationships today. I read the scriptures differently when thinking about my family and how to strengthen our relationship. What a Find!, October 17, 2007 by Mary Superb! Whether a person is new in the concept of 'living by every word,' or has been fully immersed in the words of life for decades, this book is one of the best you can add to your library and incorporate into your everyday life. I will be buying everything this author writes. Incredible Guide to Scripture in our Daily Lives, November 11, 2008 by Robyn Relationships are so challenging in this life--no matter who you are. This book has both the spiritual doctrine as well as views from a seasoned therapist who has worked with countless families and couples over her career. My husband and I read it together; we buy all books by her for her incredible insight, inspiration, and knowledge about the gospel and relationships. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
