This book teaches the reader how to create lasting relationships with each other, by "unlearning" the wrong views of Love we have learned over the years through rejection, abandonment, abuse and conditional love, and focusing on God's unconditional love. You will learn, after completing the exercises throughout the book, what has influenced your personal view of love. This book is full of practical ways of improving current loving relationships and mending hurting relationships. You are a few pages away from beginning the process of creating lasting "Unbreakable Bonds" with family and friends, and maybe even finding new love.

This book is amazing! It is very deep and can be very challenging at times but it is well worth the effort. If you think that you're ready for this type of emotional growth, I'm still praying that I am, then this book is for you.

Practical advice for putting the book's ideas into practice in "real life" recalls the functional (and fun) style of a Rick Warren book.

A great, and quick, read that gave concrete examples, plans for action, and that little boost of inspiration that it often takes to get readers working toward the practices they read about.

I'd recommend the book, and offer criticism only to chapter 4, but overall a great few hours spent learning.

I highly recommend this book as the basis of all Christian counseling. It is our early attachments with our family of origin that affects how we do relationships. It is therefore essential to look at the origins of our bonds to discover how we relate to others. The Meiers take the reader through a process of healing from past dysfunctions and teaching how to establish the bonds that will allow one to both give and receive love. This is a helpful book that should be read thoughtfully and prayfully.

This is a christian centered book that discusses ways to connect to the people in your life in a meaningful way.

This is an excellent book. It helps us understand the underlying motivations of our actions so we can focus on making changes at the root of a behavioral problem instead of wasting our time with surface issues. I would recommend this book to everyone, regardless of whether a person feels they have everything together or if everything is falling apart. It has helped me understand myself and my own motivations as well as giving me a clearer picture of why others behave the way they do.
