Yet, despite the deluge of self-help books on spiritual awareness and self-esteem, many Christians struggle to find joy and solid relationships.In Unbreakable Bonds, Dr. Paul Meier and his daughter, psychologist Dr. Cheryl Meier, show how genuine happiness comes about when people develop healthy relationships, and they offer practical ways to connect with the self and with others.
