Relationships are beautiful messes.
The art of relationship is a journey of discovery-a lost art, in fact. This generation faces major challenges in deepening and growing personal relationships. Our technology-flooded environment has left many with limited relational experience and a fear of face-to-face connection, meeting new people, and going deep in relationship.
The church has done a decent job of helping people understand the need and importance of a relationship with God, but what about with each other? At the heart of every man, woman, and child is the need for connection-for relationships with people who love them for who they are.
In The Lost Art of Relationship, Dan Chrystal gets at the true heart of relationships and friendship based on the time-honored instruction "to love your neighbor as you love yourself." But what does that mean? How do we live out this odd instruction? Who is my neighbor, anyway? What makes relationships healthy and what makes them fail? Through Dan's personal stories and difficult life lessons, readers will come away encouraged, inspired, and motivated to love the people in their life more fully. If you desire deep and meaningful connections, now is the time to discover the principles taught in this book.
For additional study, Chrystal's Discussions for Better Relationships goes deeper on 8 of these essential art forms. Combining scripture, discussion questions, application challenges, and prayer, this 8-week study is perfect for church small groups, friend groups, or family discussions.
