And all of our relationships are, in some way, broken. We mess things up, they mess things up, people get hurt. The Bible has a lot to say about how we should relate to other people, how to make things right when we've done something stupid and what we should do when someone has hurt us. But most importantly it tells us to make sure that our relationship with Jesus comes first, and that everything else flows from there. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"3\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eSharon Dickens has worked in the community for over 28 years.

It talks about how we relate as families, neighbours and close friends and even delves into dating and marriage. It is honest about the struggles and the challenges and gives clear applications of Bible texts and gospel principles. It is packed with illustrations and an example character, Biddy, who pops us in each chapter. The language is straightforward and easy to understand for people who have recently come to faith, especially if they don't have a church background and vocabulary. At the heart of the book is Jesus, the most important relationship of all. \u003cbr\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003eGraham Nicholls\u003c\/strong\u003e Director, Affinity, Cambridge, UK \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\" face=\"Lucida Sans\"\u003eSo excited to see a series of books written for the purpose of discipling unchurched new believers!

He takes apart the pieces that make up the church (one by one), shows their importance and necessity and puts them back together seamlessly. The end result is that the reader is more than just convinced of the church's necessity, they become captivated by its beauty.
