It works!By YiayiaMouseWe can't say that you get the answers or resolution you desired, but honest, caring confrontation is essential to trusting/quality relationships to go beyond the superficial acquaintanceship... If you love the person/people then you have to bring issues into the open and trust that loving honesty is what you'll get in return. Just remember, if you don't get that, YOU STILL DID THE RIGHT THING! None of us can control how people respond to us, but we can/must control our response to them. Where people we love respond to honest, caring confrontation of issues with vicious or hurtful attach, then at least we know what we can and cannot expect from that relationship. That is a relief, even if it disappoints us. Worth the read and with prayerful strength, YOU CAN DO IT.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. All Three "Caring Enough" Books: Wonderful communication toolsBy KAILA POTTSThe advice inside is invaluable for couples and other people searching for common ground. The biblical references are helpful, but not required to get a sense of the skills one needs to acquire to become a better communicator. The three books used together ("Caring Enough to CONFRONT, FORGIVE, AND HEAR" respectively, help you to know yourself and through that knowledge, reach out across the void to really know your partner and interact with your friends and colleagues in a healthy way. Sometimes the it feels repetitive as the examples and diagrams are reiterations of the text, but I suppose this help to reinforce the material.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
