Relational Reset by Dr. Laurel Shaler



Relational Reset: Unlearning the Habits that Hold You Back by Christian counselor Dr. Laurel Shaler is an excellent tool to help anyone who desires to make their relationships better...whether it be a relationship with family, friends, coworkers, or acquaintances.

Dr. Shaler's book has 12 chapters dealing with different problem areas in our relationship including insecurity, dealing with disappointments, forgetting fears, dispelling the past and more. Her conversational approach and real life examples make you feel like you are spending time with a friend who is taking time to pour truth into your life. (Of course, I must confess that Dr. Shaler is a real-life friend of mine).

Each chapter concludes with a few thought-provoking questions, which help dig deeper into the subject matter. I especially appreciate how Dr. Shaler ends each chapter with a prayer, helping solidify what we have just learned by committing it to the Lord in prayer.

I read this book over a few days, but I highly suggest maybe reading one chapter a day or even one chapter a week in order to spend time really establishing those habits.  I will definitely read this book again at a slower pace.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Though Dr. Shaler is a friend of mine, I recommend this book on its own merits for anyone looking to improve their relationships with others.

Relational Reset is available on Amazon (along with several other stores and distributors).

Of Fire and Lions by Mesu Andrews

Those who know me best know that I love to read. I have read a lot of Biblical/Historical fiction books in my life, and Of Fire and Lions...
