So many of us settle for too little - for superficial, safe relationships in our marriages, our families and our churches. I am so glad that Paul and Tim have written a book to guide us into deeper, richer relationships. I pray we'll have the courage to follow their counsel." - Bob Lepine, Co-Host, FamilyLife Today "Paul Tripp and Tim Lane bring deep Christ-centered thought, and broad counseling experience to their writing, offering fresh hope and practical answers to people in less-than-perfect relationships. Paul and Tim are men who love our Savior, his Word, and the Spirit, so it is with the utmost confidence that I always recommend their writing." - Elyse Fitzpatrick, counselor; speaker; author, Give Them Grace "What a wonderful and helpful book! It will make a major difference in your life and the lives of everybody you love. Read this book and you will want to be my friend for recommending it to you." - Steve Brown, Broadcaster, KeyLife Radio Have A Question?
