Overview:
We will take a deep look into the complicated, mysterious, painful and beautiful dance we call Human relationship.

We will consider not only building relationships, but restoring love and connections with the people who matter most to us.

This series will teach us that no matter how we feel, no matter what is going on, no matter who we are with, we can find our voice when we need to speak with honor and personal integrity, even when the other person behaves badly.

Synopsis
In her most affirming and life-changing book yet, Dr. Harriet Lerner teaches us how to restore love and connection with the people who matter the most. In The Dance of Connection we learn what to say (and not say) when:

• We need an apology, and the person who has harmed us won't apologize or be accountable.
• We don't know how to take a conversation to the next level when we feel desperate.
• We feel worn down by the other person's criticism, negativity, or irresponsible behavior.
• We have been rejected or cut off, and the other person won't show up for the conversation.
• We are struggling with staying or leaving, and we don't know our "bottom line."
• We are convinced that we've tried everything — and nothing changes.

Filled with compelling personal stories and case examples, Lerner outlines bold new "voice lessons" that show us how to speak with honor and personal integrity, even when the other person behaves badly.

Whether we're dealing with a partner, parent, sister, or best friend, The Dance of Connection teaches us how to navigate our most important relationships with clarity, courage, and joyous conviction.

Overview:
Finding safe people provides the foundation for building healthy, lasting relationships. Countless individuals have invested themselves into people who have shipwrecked their lives. They have been abandoned or taken advantage of, and left with little to show for what they have given. They have lost their sense of security and personal value in the process. If you are one who has chosen the wrong people to get involved with or makes the same mistakes about relationships over and over again, then the Safe People course offers you a remedy. We will offer solid guidance for making safe choices in relationships from friendships to romance. We will help identify the nurturing people we all need in our lives, as well as ones we need to learn to avoid.

Overview:
What if you only had one month to live? How would you make each day meaningful? How would you relate to others differently? What would you do to make the rest of your life really matter?

One Month to Live will challenge you to embrace the life God has entrusted to you and you alone, and to live it out moment by moment with wholehearted authenticity, honesty, and integrity.

Through the use of colorful true stories, and questions for reflection, we will help you examine the core areas inside you that long to be exercised and expressed: how you're made to live passionately, love boldly, learn from your mistakes, and leave a legacy that endures for generations after you're gone.

One Month to Live will give you a greater clarity of purpose and a renewed sense of passion for the things that really matter.

Overview:
The core message of Gary Chapman's bestselling The Five Love Languages has hit home with over 2 million married people because it focuses on humanity's deep emotional need to feel loved.

When Dr. Chapman began a ministry for single adults in his church, he found that their needs were the same although their circumstances were different. Now, in this book—at their request—Dr. Chapman addresses the situations of singles in personal and professional relationships, and shows how the same five love languages apply.

For single adults and single parents of all ages who want to know how to better express and receive love…for students who would like to improve their relationships with friends and classmates…for business professionals who look for guidance in dealing with colleagues.

Participants can find their own situations mirrored in the real-life stories of people Dr. Chapman has counseled. Singles can learn more about themselves and others with the new "singles" profile and "Questions to Ponder" that conclude each chapter.
