Regret-Free Living takes the focus from
what was and what might have been and shines a bright light onto the path of
what is and what is to be. Christian counselor Stephen Arterburn speaks honestly
and forthrightly about what it takes to build strong, healthy relationships.
Drawing on his own positive and negative experiences, he offers specific steps
to rid yourself of relationship regrets, open your heart to healing, and move
forward in love.
Arterburn's practical counsel shows you how to recognize
the signs and qualities of both happy and unhappy relationships, admit guilt and
accept responsibility, find and give forgiveness, set boundaries, love and give
out of fullness, and much more.
This is your invitation to, with God's
help, rid yourself of relationship regrets and begin building healthy,
guilt-free relationships. Will you accept it? The choice is yours.
Reviews
"Arterburn, author of 60-plus books, this time
turns his heart and mind to helping readers deal with regret, 'one of the
biggest inhibitors to living the life God most wants you to live.' He readily
admits his own regrets (girlfriend's terminated pregnancy, failed marriage) as
he honestly and pointedly guides readers toward a life of peace, patience and
self-control. Arterburn first addresses the signs of an unhealthy relationship,
moves on to how to admit the need for help and then to acknowledge one's own
part in problems. His trademark humor and honesty make the responsibility pill
easier to swallow as he leads readers toward knowing how to withdraw from
conflict, keep dignity intact and get rid of baggage of the past. Forgiveness,
says Arterburn, is 'the essential ingredient to living a regret-free life,' and
he coaches readers on how to reach that point. Arterburn fans new and longtime
will find more useful life lessons here, always pointing to God, who is 'showing
us our path along a magnificent, God-centered, regret-free life.'"
