Publisher Description: Life is about relationships, good and bad. Individualism may feel strong. In reality, it's much weaker than when we stand together. Much of the joy of life comes from the manner in which others touch our lives. Do you remember the last time someone touched your life with a word of encouragement? Your response may have been a smile or a sense of joy. Not all touches are like that. Some people touch our lives with pain through hurtful comments, insinuation, or even lies. Solomon declared that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Our conversations are a key contributor to the effects we have on one another. This book is an invitation to explore the impact of others on us and our influence on them. It takes courage to nurture others and accept their nurturing. Communication coupled with action is the key to growth when we've experienced God as the source of our spiritual lives in Christ.
"Glenn Taylor's writing on the subject of healthy relationships is the outcome of] a lifelong commitment to living fully into all aspects of life. As a result, this book has deep roots and a solid foundation. I commend it to you."
"I believe the chapter on the importance of the community of faith as a place for receiving love, nurture, and healing meets a critical need in our disconnected society." Bio Glenn C.
