"The gospel is all about reconciled relationships first with God, then with one another. But living out the gospel by genuinely loving and living at peace with one another can be hard, sometimes painful, often messy work. In this study guide, Tim and Paul help us confront the messiness of relationships head on and find the joy and life and hope that comes from really knowing and being known by others."Bob Lepine, Cohost, FamilyLife Today"Paul Tripp and Tim Lane have taken what was already incredibly profound, biblical, and helpful teaching in Relationships: A Mess Worth Making and have 'put legs on it.' This practical guide is going to deeply and positively affect the church and our call to walk together. I 'rise up and call them blessed.'"Steve Brown, President of Key Life Network, Inc.; Professor at Reformed Theological Seminary; author of What Was I Thinking? Things I've Learned Since I Knew It All"I am a stereotypical man: I think that I can figure things out on my own, and I loathe looking at the instruction booklet that comes with any new purchase. But I do like maps. I like to see where I'm at and where I'm going and the best way to get there. This study material is not an instruction booklet; it is a road map a road map that can change your life. My wife testifies that it has been life-changing in our marriage. I'll let you guess which life has been most changed."Jack Delk, Pastor for Covenant Member Care, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN
