Rucos dad let me borrow this book a while back, and I have been reading it again recently. Its such a great book to really apply to your life. Something happened today that made me revert back to it, so I thought I would post this link which is a summary of the book by one of its authors, Henry Cloud. It really is so great.

ooo, i really like this book tor. these are my favorites parts.
Instead of looking to the kinds of character traits that God deems important, we look to external things that do not have much to do with how someone ultimately performs in relationships. We look at externals, religious performance, how they appear, instead of what Jesus talked about as the deeper relational aspects of the law such as justice, mercy and faithfulness. (Matt. 23:23) Is someone honest and fair? Are they merciful? Can they be trusted? These are the issues that Jesus told us to look at.
He wants you also to be redemptive in their lives instead of suffering at their hands. But this is going to require spiritual growth on your part.
how often do we actually confront each other with that stuff. or are we all so defensive that we dont allow people to come to us and tell us that truthfully in love? just a thought
oh yea, i love you! and to me, YOU are safe and draw me closer to God and help me be the best person I can be, the person God wants me to be! yea yea
