From the Back Cover
A deeper probe into relationships starts with our heart’s desires At last, a “relationship book” that looks past what separates us to examine what connects us! Dr. Mark and Debra Laaser go to the heart of the matter. Instead of focusing on how to sidestep or compensate for perceived differences, they dig deeper, to the core of our souls, to examine how the basic desires and needs of all people make us more alike than different. The Seven Desires of Every Heart explores the common desires God gives you—to be heard, affirmed, blessed, safe, touched, chosen, and included. Using stories, Biblical references, and sound psychological principles, the Laasers explain each desire and show us how we seek it and what it feels like to have it truly fulfilled. You also will learn healthy ways to embody these desires in your relationships. You will be given the tools you need to start repairing and rebuilding relationships and developing new skills for creating emotional and spiritual intimacy.

Customer Reviews

Great book
The Seven Desires of Every Heart is a great book to use for a couple's small group study. I read through the book quickly and gleaned a lot, but collected much more valuable information when I slowed down and pondered the points the authors were making. These points are not to be missed to help you refocus on understanding your own needs and the needs of those you love. I look forward to working through the workbook that is coming out to help solidify these concepts in my heart and mind so they can become a compass for quality living.
