Dan Francis was raised in a dysfunctional family and had a front-row seat to hurt, distrust, violence, and abuse. As a result, he avoided and even abandoned the relationships that meant the most to him. But Dan eventually learned how to redeem his broken relationships and communicate in a way that brings peace and harmony. Today Dan is a relationship expert who uses his own story with vulnerability to help others lift the burden of tense or destructive communication patterns. Inside this book, you'll learn sensible, honest, and enduring skills for living in reconciled relationships. You'll discover how to "stay in the room" and stop running away from your most treasured relationships.

This book will stay in your mind like a love song flutters in your soul, awaiting to be awakened. When you find "the day is far spent" you will invite this book to "stay with us" (Luke 24:29), as the Emmaus disciples said to Jesus. Discover in Dan Francis' gentle reminders and re-memberings the "perfect peace" that comes from a "mind stayed" on God (Is.26:3). It promises to receive my vote for "The Best Book of the Year!" -LEONARD SWEET, best-selling author, preacher, and educator
