Relational Skills in the Bible: A Bible Study Focused on Relationships

Chris & Jen Coursey

This fun, flexible, eye-opening Bible study focuses attention on what matters most in life: relationships! The desire to have vibrant, life-giving relationships is universal; all of us want our relationships to be happy and healthy. Sadly, many of our relationships are stressed, strained, and even broken. The skills needed to repair, restore, and strengthen relationships are underdeveloped or missing. Where can find the answers to the skills we need? This study takes you through the pages of Scripture to see relationships as never before.
