Inlaws, Outlaws, and the Functional Family by Harry R. Jacks

Easy and enjoyable read. Very practical. I especially liked the way the book deals with sex. It talks about it in an open and direct way, you don't have to spend hours trying to figure out what he is really saying. The author deals with the practical issues many, if not all families, face. I believe his point in my words is: families have issues, yours is not immune, so when you are ready to face reality, there are things you can do to set things straight - and then he provides the tools.

Highly recommended.

This book deals with real issues and concerns in family relationships in a practical, yet spiritually encouraging way. The personal stories really make an impact and provide a real-life application for the principles discussed.

Practical Help

This book is one of the most practical books on family I have read. It faces the hard topics of confrontation, marriage, parenting, and sexuality with a true self-help style. This is a great reference tool for any family.
