Product Description
by Suzanne T. Immen (Author)
What does the Bible teach about love? In her book, The Christian Codependent: When Our Loving Hearts Become Bleeding Hearts, Ms. Immen examines the answer to that question. As a professional counselor, she learned that many Christians often suffer through their loving and giving, and they believe that they are being a "good" Christian. If they just pray and ask God for help, then He can and will preserve relationships. Love becomes a matter of faith. However, she proves through scripture that God has boundaries when He mandates that we love Him, ourselves, and then others. She offers ways to become a healthy person, loving freely and deeply, reaping God's blessings and joy. She shows that people who love through Christ must not try to "control" people or situations but to let God lead them into relationships that He blesses.
