Hope for messy, conflict-ridden relationships. Your best friend is suddenly cool and distant. Your spouse can t stop complaining about your bad habits. Your son refuses to talk to you. What are you supposed to do? Plans A, B, and C might be to shut down, lash out, or get out. But consider Plan D: Recognize that God has the last word on those messy, conflict-ridden relationships. He can use them to make you into someone who can give and receive love with God and others. Impossible? Idea... (show more)

Hope for messy, conflict-ridden relationships. Your best friend is suddenly cool and distant. Your spouse can t stop complaining about your bad habits. Your son refuses to talk to you. What are you supposed to do? Plans A, B, and C might be to shut down, lash out, or get out. But consider Plan D: Recognize that God has the last word on those messy, conflict-ridden relationships. He can use them to make you into someone who can give and receive love with God and others. Impossible? Idealistic? Not really. In Relationships: A Mess Worth Making, Tim Lane and Paul Tripp show you how God does it, and how it can happen for you. They help you tackle the stubborn problems that plague many close relationships. They show you the deeper issues that drive our reactions, choices, and behaviors. And they show you how God steps in to help you build relationships that are all he intended them to be. (show less)

  • This book is appropriate for all types of relationships in life and therefore a good book for all people to read, unless you have never had an interaction with another person (and who hasn't?). This book was more important then I expected it to be in its convicting nature, and application based storytelling.

    This book is appropriate for all types of relationships in life and therefore a good book for all people to read, unless you have never had an interaction with another person (and who hasn't?). This book was more important then I expected it to be in its convicting nature, and application based storytelling.

    Every relationship you encounter in life will eventually enter conflict and what you do at that point is what really defines the relationship. This book put the points of conflict in the context of being God's purpose. The authors of this book highlight the importance of submitting to "the mess" we may find in our lives, and ways to do this without making it messier. (show less)

    yep, we people are messy but we were made for relationships. God uses people in our lives to challenge us and change us from staying our typical boring selves

    I loved this book and anticipate reading it again soon (I rarely read books twice). I'd love to do a book club on this book. It is meaty, Scripturally-rooted, humble, challenging, and accessible.
