Family Relationships
Hope & Healing for your Family
A Practical Guide to Peace & Reconciliation
Every family is hurting. The wounds that come from our relatives can be deeper than all others. Conflict within a family can range from daily frictions and annoyances to rage and hatred and eventually estrangement. We want things to be different but have no idea where to start. After 25 years of ministering to families, Dr. Rob Rienow believes reconciliation is at the heart of the gospel — reconciliation with God and one another. Discover specific steps you can take in your relationships with your family members to pursue peace and healing in your homes.
Rob Rienow's latest book will show you how to experience healing in your most important relationships this side of Heaven
