Customer Reviews

Love Talk
This is a great book especially for newlyweds. It is quite humbling and eye-opening. My husband and I have only just begun working through it with our small group and already it has made us more aware of how we communicate with one another as well as with other people. I recommend this book to anyone willing to take a look at how well they communicate.

Not a great book
I am half-way through this book and haven't seen much of the video series that can accompany the book. My husband and I have been going through the book for several weeks and were amazed at how there is no Bible basis or any research sited for the basis of any of the extremely subjective tests that are in the book. It just felt like the whole book was based on two people's opinions and lacked credibility. To my husband and I, the book came off as shallow and not very informative. I'm not sure if this book is just intended to be for a secular market but my husband and I were surprised to be reading a book for a Bible study for couples that doesn't use the Bible at all. So far we have been very disappointed with this book.
