Interesting Title Good Book
I really enjoyed reading Pastor Battle's book. The title sounds just like he teaches. There is wisdom in his book tempered with humor. He makes it plain.

This narrator on Audible:
⭐Excellent. He's believes what he's sharing and it's LEGIT real. This is real life. And levels it all out. Black and white. Plain and simple.
The Ideology Behind these facts and theories:
⭐Yes. It's Christian ideology and principles with the real life practical and honest feel. If you think you can just gloss over an affair, infidelity on any level, by simply asking God to "heal you on up," it's unfair to God. We have to do the work .
☝️For the person open to the FACT that while forgiveness, repentance, and honesty are all values that are a must in marriage and in maintaining our spiritual accountability and integrity, but you are also the person that fully understands we are humans and feelings are complex and valid and practicing our beliefs and processing the trauma after infidelity can be a challenge (and then that leads to feelings of guilt because forgiveness is REAL hard so then you FEEL like your a failure for your struggle to forgive), this book is for you. Feelings are complex. They may not be challenging and intangible but they are real.
⭐This book isn't a big wordy, dive into deep psychology concepts type of book. It's real. And relatable. And necessarily so. There needs to be more books written this way. (This coming from someone who has read hundreds of books for fun related to human behaviors and the why's) I'd even say it's refreshing. It's comprehensible. Even for the idealist I am.

There are so many gems in this book. I love the Godly examples and bible versus that are given modern day angles. This is really not about infidelity but building the tools necessary to be a great husband or wife and add assurance and "insurance" to your marriage or relationship. I think Chapter 9 was super insightful but there wasn't a bad chapter at all. Something to use as a reference and read semi-annually so that different lessons can be learned and applied to your life and ultimately your relationship.

What a read!
This was a great and easy read. I really appreciate the truth that Keith Battle revealed about his own marriage. I found this book very insightful. Though I have not been a culprit of infidelity, It definitely seemed at times, like the book was written just for me.
