"I feel like I married a newspaper with legs on it."  "Our kids are in a world of their own." "Whenever I want to talk, she just clams up." "We can't seem to agree on anything."  Why do some families grow closer, when others fall apart? A husband, father of four, & family counsellor, Wayne A. Mack offers biblical insight & practical wisdom into two crucial areas of family relationships: communication & conflict resolution.  Alerting us to pitfalls such as "undertalk," "overtalk," poor listening, falsehood, & "circult jammers" to communication, Mack examines why families fight and explains the key to turning family discord into concord. Firsthand success stories & highly practical application questions give hope & clear direction to all who wish to build their families--God's Way.
