Reviews for Real Relationships

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5‘Real Relationships’ is written from a Christian perspective, but the faith aspect is quite low-key until the final chapter, which is about relating to God. Earlier chapters deal with human relationships of various kinds.
I thought the book was well-written and interesting. However it was annoying to discover that, to make the best use of it, I should also have bought a related workbook - costing almost as much as the book itself.
I considered the Kindle version of workbook; however the ‘look inside’ feature was so limited that there was no way to find out whether it would be helpful. I didn’t buy it - and doubt if I missed out on anything important - but the frequent directions to do another exercise became irritating.
Other than that, I thought it a helpful book which I would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning more about the ways in which relationships of many kinds can work.
