    About this ebook

    Every person is affected daily by countless relationships of one kind or another. Some are enjoyable and encouraging, while others drag us down and hurt us. What can we do to make the best of the difficult relationships and resolve the problems that arise in them?

    In How to Deal with Difficult Relationships, June Hunt looks at the characteristics and causes of problem relationships as well as the solutions that can bring hope, peace, and restoration. With wisdom and compassion she explores what Scripture says about the following key issues:

    • codependency
    • conflict resolution
    • confrontation
    • a critical spirit
    • forgiveness
    • manipulation

    This newest addition to June Hunt’s popular Counseling Through the Bible Series maintains the exceptionally high standard of biblical and practical excellence that June is known for. Readers will find themselves powerfully encouraged as they seek the path toward harmony, better communication, and Christ-centered solutions in their problem relationships.

      You’re not alone in this world. Especially as a Christian you’re challenged each and every day to build, restore and sustain relationships: with God, your husband or wife, children, co-workers, friends, fellow believers, neighbours, etc. Life’s a hard place, and many times we make mistakes. June Hunt is the founder of Hope for the Heart, a worldwide biblical counseling ministry that provides numerous resources for people seeking help. She hosts a live, two-hour call-in counseling program called Hope in the Night, and is the author of Counseling Through Your Bible Handbook and How to Handle Your Emotions. She helps Bridging the Gaps That Separate People in her latest guide How to Deal with Difficult Relationships.Hunt shares what the Bible has to say on a critical spirit, using the storyline of Job and manipulation along the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Jacob and Esau. Then codependency, confrontation, conflict resolution and forgiveness are dealt with in great detail.Her Counseling Through the Bible Series is built on endless lists, quoted Bible verses (often without direct context, but straight from a concordance), repetitions, sparsely illustrated with an extra-biblical story. Let’s take Critical Spirit as an example. 75 pages, divided in 4 Definitions, 3 Characteristics, 6 Causes and 14 Steps to Solution. Confession forms, sample prayers and a Q&A section are provided. In my humble opinion: overwhelming!I truly missed Hunt’s own life experience on all these daily problems and ways to get along with people. She deserves praise for letting Scripture speak about troubled relationships, but the Bible isn’t a 10-steps-to-success cook book. With so many quotes from the Bible I’d better read the Bible itself.
