Recommended Reading

I know that not everyone likes to read.  I am a lazy reader, truth be told.  So, with that in mind, I have chosen some excellent books that I have read that I hope you will find helpful.  I have written descriptions only if the title is not obvious.

• THE NEW RULES OF MARRIAGE by Terrence Real
• I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT by Terrence Real (excellent book on male depression and "covert" depression)
• NOT "JUST FRIENDS" by Shirley Glass, PhD (a great read about infidelity)                                                                            
• AFTER THE AFFAIR by Janis Abrahms Spring, PhD
• BLACK BIRD; A CHILDHOOD LOST AND FOUND  by Jennifer Lauck  and the sequel
• STILL WATERS also by Jennifer Lauck (both of these books are autobiographical about an abusive childhood and the road to her recovery)
• CRAZY by Peter Early (a difficult but important read about a father's journey into helping his mentally ill son in the prison system and his fight for getting him medical attention)
• AN UNQUIET MIND by Kay Jamieson, MD (written autobiographically about her own struggle with bi-polar disorder)
• LOVE AND WAR by John and Staci Eldredge (a wonderful marriage book written from a Christian perspective)
