healthy relationshipsand other myths of the modern churchWe may have what we think are healthy relationships, but in reality we may be badly dysfunctional. Yet, we might not know any better, because we have believed the common myths of the modern church instead of measuring our relationships by biblical standards. Healthy relationships may seem like a myth, but it doesn’t have to be that way.This book is a call to the church to stop looking to ourselves for the answers on how to do relationships right. Rather, it is a call to do relationships the way God told us to do them. If the Lord gave us the instructions, it must be possible! So, let’s put ourselves to the task and see what the Bible has to say about healthy relationships and other myths of the modern church.There really is a better way!ken e. read is a badly dysfunctional follower of Jesus, who, mainly through making mistakes, has stumbled onto some of what God says about relationships. ken lives in Cincinnati, and is an elder at Christ's Community in Price Hill and has been blessed with a relationship with Ellen and the several children they call family.
