Untwisting Twisted Relationships by William D. Backus

by William Backus

Whether with family, friends or associates, personal relationships are a major source of concern for everyone - even for those who would rather pretend life can go on very well without other people. Tangles and twists have a great potential for affecting close relationships and seem to cause a large share of life’s miseries and pain. Dr. Backus and his wife Candace believe that relationships can be untwisted by specifically applying the principles of Misbelief Therapy which he developed and presented in "Telling Yourself the Truth." Patterns of behavior in dealing with others become tangled through underlying misbeliefs and false expectations. The authors help the reader see that the only way to strong, secure, intimate relationships is through honestly facing these fallacies and replacing them with truths from God's Word. Pointedly written in the context of the authors' own family life, here are tested and effective principles to help in restoring broken ties with family and friends.

[Heather · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is a book about extremes in certain relationships that cause people to develop certain "misbeliefs" about life. The problem is that it is about extremes and is limited in its possibilities and life examples. I dub it more or less to be useless. It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
