I had to read this book for a class but I loved the points it made so much and how it described Godly relationships. So encouraging and helpful to read.

This is worth reading... Although I don't agree with him completely (on quite a few points), there are some really good explanations and connections drawn. Specifically, I appreciated his explanations of pair bonding (American culture often takes this way out of order) and birth bonding (this is incredible stuff!).

[Marianne Ogden]

This and it's companion book are especially good reads for newlyweds. It is a foundational book for healthy families.

[Sarah]

This book travels from birth to death the journey of touch, with it's theological and emotional implications, and with practical guidance. Revolutionary for me.

[Kathy]

Given to me many many years ago by a Christian Friend, I found things in here about relationships and parenthood that I probably need to revisit, now that I'm a wife and mother.

This significantly shifted my thinking in the area of relationships. Thanks to my mentor Stan Hays for sharing it! Also "Rebonding" Donald Joy
