Chapter 1
Relationships

The Problem
Having problems in our relationships with other people can
be very painful.  Human beings are social creatures by
nature.  Loving and being loved is a basic need of all people.  
So when our relationships suffer, so do we.  Life is simply not
rewarding in the way we need it to be.

When a person has a problem in relationships, there is a wide
range of issues that can be causing the problem.  In fact,
almost any relational problem involves some sort of wound
inside us.

However, there is one common denominator to most
relational problems.  People who have a warm, merciful,
caring relationship
with themselves seldom have
significant problems in their relationships with other people,
and God.

Conversely, those people who experience significant
difficulties in relationships usually have a fractured sense of
self.

The Lord Jesus wants to heal your relationship with yourself,
but you need
detailed instructions as to how that can
come about.

My book, "I Will Give You Rest" was written about God's way
of healing our hearts through Jesus Christ.  The chapter
order is for the majority of needs.

However, your journey needs to be tailored to your
specific issue.  Therefore, I would recommend that you read
the book in a different sequence.

Recommended Sequence
First read Chapter 9.  This chapter will help you understand
what it means to have a fractured relationship with yourself,
and how that came about.  
For sure, don't leave this
website without reading Chapter 9 first.  It will
change your life.

Then read Chapter 12, which will describe that part of you
that is relational by nature.  Therefore, you have residing
inside you the ability to have great and loving relationships.  
You will simply have to learn how to release that part of you
to come out.

Then read the rest of the book in sequence, starting with
Chapter 2.

Some Suggestions
I would recommend that you write down somewhere this
revised sequence of chapters so that you will not forget it -
remember,
9, 12, 2.

Be aware that when you read the chapters out of order, you
will bump into some terms with which you are not familiar,
because they were taught in earlier chapters which you have
not yet read.

However, this should not interfere with the main messages in
the chapters you are reading out of order.

Take Your Time
You are free to spend as much time as you like on
this website, and you can jump in and out as your
schedule gives you time to read.  When you come
back, you can just take up where you left off by
