The title for my book is Emotional Healing through Relationships. It's an examination of what Jesus says in the greatest of all the commandants--to love: first God, then others; and implicit is the love of self. A variety of devotionals are used to underscore the point in each section. This task is done by mining the scriptures for principles that can be applied to all our lives generally, as well as using therapeutic tools. After each devotional, readers are invited to complete tasks to help move them forward. Research has shown that the ability to have healthy relationships begins in infancy. A child's earliest relationship with stable parental figures in his or her lives helps to establish patterns of relating to others. Those who had an emotionally chaotic early start sometimes struggle with relationships later in life. They learn not to trust, and without that basic foundation of trust, relationships are hampered.
