Publisher's Description

Every family is hurting, and the wounds that come from our relatives can be deeper than all others. Conflict within a family can range from daily frictions and annoyances to rage and hatred and eventually estrangement. We want things to be different but have no idea where to start. After 25 years of ministering to families, Rob Rienow believes reconciliation is at the heart of the gospel--reconciliation with God and one another. You will come away with specific steps you can take in your relationships with your family members to pursue peace and healing in your homes. Each chapter includes key biblical examples as well as present-day stories of families who have experienced God's help and healing--including the author's own miraculous healing of his relationship with his father. Our families can bring out the best, as well as the worst, in all of us. May this book guide you in making your home and family a blessing in a broken world.

Read Healing Family Relationships and be equipped and inspired and challenged to love God and family like never before.”

Troy Dobbs

“Have you reached a dead end in trying to heal broken relationships in your family? Rob Rienow will provide you with a whole host of new strategies that are biblical and practical. His personal transparency is exemplary, and his wisdom is biblical. This is simply the best book I’ve ever read on the topic!”

Larry Fowler

“Rob Rienow understands what it means, theologically and practically, to foster healing in family relationships. This book is a treasure trove for parents and grandparents hoping to cultivate healing, grace, and peace during seasons of familial brokenness, sin, and spiritual warfare.”

Dr. Brian Haynes

“Nobody is exempt from the hurts and wounds that come from being part of a family—even a loving family. They’re inevitable. But not everyone rises above the pain to build better relationships. Why? It’s tough. Thankfully, Rob Rienow has provided a biblically based path for doing just that in Healing Family Relationships. Don’t miss out on this life-transforming message.”

Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott

“Rob begins this remarkable book with the comforting assurance that messy families are normal. Then with transparency and wisdom, he offers a sensible, biblical blueprint for restoration, healing, and hope. No matter how dysfunctional your family might be, this book will help you strengthen relationships with the people you love most.”

Wayne Rice

“Minutes after reading Healing Family Relationships, I ordered copies to give to people I care about. And right after that, I made the book required reading in my seminary course on the family. I cannot give a stronger endorsement than those two actions. This is an important book.”

Richard Ross

“Only God can heal broken family relationships. In this very personal, touching book, Rob shows us how to position ourselves well while we wait for that healing. And if God chooses not to heal the relationship, this book opens pathways for God to heal us.”

Dr. Scott Turansky

“Nobody is exempt from the hurts and wounds that come from being part of a family—even a loving family. They’re inevitable. But not everyone rises above the pain to build better relationships. Why? It’s tough. Thankfully, Rob Rienow has provided a biblically based path for doing just that in Healing Family Relationships. Don’t miss out on this life-transforming message.”
