Life is lived with constant connection and in relationship with others. But what happens when those relationships slip--into frustration, unforgiveness, and irreconciliation? Life Together in a Falling-Apart World challenges popular notions that many people have about how to navigate healthy relationships, and what God has to say regarding right living in a messy world. Should we just let time heal all wounds, or choose to never go to bed angry with one another? If we have a hard time forgiving others, then will we ever be forgiven by God? With candor, humor, and personal anecdotes, practical recommendations for getting severed relationships back on track, and a proper understanding of healthy interaction based upon the Bible, Relationslips is a book that is precisely needed in our day.
This book acknowledges that people are complicated and relationships are hard. The author offers concrete examples and thoughtful commentary on a Christian perspective to repairing relational harm. Reasonable arguments for eschewing conventional wisdom and embracing an approach focused on restoration and reconciliation are presented with passion and understanding. This book offers a call for Christians to work towards harmony, within both Christian and non-Christian contexts, that is greatly needed in theological discourse today.
