| The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans publisher: Adams ISBN: 1-55850-582-2 It was one of the most informative books I've ever read. When I told my wife about the book and how it highlighted what she may have felt, that it really moved my heart. I personally think it was one of the elements that started us on a better path. In summation, this book clarifies the various types of verbal abuse and the devastating effect it can have on anyone. I found the book to be interesting to read and it seemed like it was easy to understand and correlate to. The real value to me in reading this book was to gain a much better understanding of what a wife, or spouse can feel by being the victim of verbal abuse. I have heard many men say that they never hit their wife, or had an affair, and that they simply did not understand what yelling was doing to the relationship. I’m certainly not a professional book reviewer, but feel this book will open one’s eyes to the damage of a verbally abusive relationship. I hope you enjoy it! (Gary M.) |

| God! I Can't Take It Any More Surviving the Pain of Divorce and Marital Separation by Jeff Harris This self-help book is an in-depth look into the struggles of Christian author, Jeff Harris, as he fought through the debilitating pain of marital separation. His journey of faith, hope, and love, is both encouraging and extremely comforting. Finally, a book that tells it like it is! When reading this book you can tell that the author is speaking from his heart. It's not written by someone with plaques on his walls, but by someone that traveled the road of divorce, and learned life's great lesson along the way. I recommend it to anyone dealing with marital separation or divorce that wants real advice and real results. It helped me tremendously! (L.

| Boundaries Dr. Henry Cloud / Dr. John Townsend ISBN: 0310247454 Pub. Date: March 2002 Publisher: Zondervan I really like this book. I know first hand the effects of not being assertive and expressing clear boundaries all for the sake of being 'nice'. I have learned through life that standing up for yourself in not being nice nor mean, but being a steward over the life that you have been given and knowing your limits. Reading this book helped me to weed out some mistakes from the past and I believe it will help me to make better decisions in the future. |

| Boundaries Face to Face: How to Have that Difficult Conversation You've Been Avoiding A practical handbook on positive confrontation by the authors of the award-winning and best-selling Boundaries Successful people confront well. They know that setting healthy boundaries improves relationships. They have discovered that uncomfortable--even dangerous--situations can often be avoided or resolved through direct conversation. But most of us don't know how to go about having difficult conversations. We see confrontation as scary or adversarial. We're afraid to ask a boss for a raise or talk to a relative about a drinking problem, or even address a relational conflict with a spouse or someone we are dating. In Boundaries Face to Face authors Cloud and Townsend take the
principles from their best-selling book Boundaries and apply them
to a variety of the most common difficult situations and relationships. |

| Every Man's Marriage: An Every Man's Guide to Winning
the Heart of a Woman (Paperback) by Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, Mike Yorkey This is a book that could change your life! (Review from Amazon.com) I am a woman who is married to a man much like one of the authors (By the way, contrary to another reviewer, I would never describe them as "abusers." They simply didn't understand how much pain they were causing their wives by their actions.). I know my husband loves me deeply, but he has never really understood how to connect with me so we can enjoy the fantastic sex life he (and I) wants! This book is about mutual submission, and any husband who takes it seriously will reap rewards that he has only dreamed of. Men, your wives want what this book describes more than anything else in life. I had given up that anything like this was even possible after 20 years of marriage. For one thing, I couldn't even describe it to my husband so he understood, but these authors have been there and figured it out, and they speak to men like men. They found these answers by seriously seeking God and asking Him to show them what their marriage was really supposed to look like (after some serious problems, which almost destroyed their marriages and their wives!). If you are serious about having the most fantastic marriage that God intended for all of us, then read this book and live it like these guys are. (L. Cheeley) Paperback: 288 pages Publisher: WaterBrook Press; 1st edition (October 16, 2001) ISBN: 1578565227 |
