Mending Broken Relationships, Building Strong Ones: Eight Ways to Love as Jesus Loves Us

Mending Broken Relationships, Building Strong Ones: Eight Ways to Love as Jesus Loves Us by John J. Boucher. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781593252779.

We all struggle with relationships that are broken in some way. In this book, authors John and Therese Boucher show us eight ways to love like Jesus through intercessory prayer, respect, forgiveness, gratitude, affirmation, forbearance, honesty, and a healing presence. These are gifts that are given to us through the power of the Holy Spirit. Like seeds that are placed in the earth, these virtues and gifts can grow with prayer, mutual support, and practice and become the paths to strong and fulfilling relationships. Each chapter focuses on a different path to love. Many real-life stories, including those from the saints, help readers to connect these virtues and gifts to their own lives. Reflection questions and an exercise for further growth included after each chapter. A practical and valuable resource for every Christian disciple.
