Healing Family Relationships

 

Healing Family Relationships by Rob Rienow is about just what the title says. It is difficult to belong to a family without having some difficulties. The author gives many ideas to help with the healing of these relationships. 

Some of the chapters in this book cover how to find healing through prayer, repentance, listening, acceptance, spiritual warfare, boundaries, meditation and more. Each has good strategies along with questions for reflection and discussion. Much of it is a reminder that we cannot change the other person, but we can change ourselves.

The author includes examples from his own life, the Bible and of others.

I recommend this book to anyone who would like to have healing in a relationship in their family.

I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishing in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

book review: Passing Strangers by Angela Hunt

Angela Hunt has written another five-star book!. Passing Strangers introduces the reader to three train passengers that are traveling from Washington, D.C. to Florida. One of the passengers decided to take the trip, at the last moment, to make some decisions. The second one is taking the trip with her children, to visit their grandmother, to see if she would be able to care for the children for a short while. The third one was sent on this trip by her company to take a long-overdue vacation.

These strangers meet on the train and begin to examine their lives, not only from their point-of-view, but also how others view them.

Each character is well-developed and introduced separately, then the story lines blend together so seamlessly it almost happens without being aware of it.

I was given this book by The Book Club Network in exchange for my honest review and I am very grateful that I was on the receiving end of this exchange.
