Can Christians Love Too Much?
Rinck, Dr Margaret J
Books > Self Help > Relationships
Like Jan Silvious's Please Don't Say You Need Me ( LJ 9/1/89), this is a book for codependents. But the two books are quite different. Rinck gives a fuller overview of the professional literature and organizes her guidance more in terms of dynamics (e.g., the roots of codependency). Also, while explicitly Christian, her narrative is suited to a more pluralistic readership, with a fine critique of the ways that biblical teachings can be subtly distorted to encourage excessive submission. Interested readers should also investigate Robert Hemfelt et al.'s excellent Love Is a Choice , an October title from Thomas Nelson.

Not Ready For Marriage, Not Ready For Sex
Padgett, Chris & Linda

When Chris Padgett met Linda Dodge for the first time at the end of high school, sparks flew.

Even sooner, the two young Christians found themselves involved in a passionate sexual relationship. Certain they should stop but just as certain they couldn't, the relationship began to unravel. When they found the courage, in college, to choose chastity, they discovered a renewed friendship, affection and the self-discipline that would serve as a firm foundation for marriage. Wondering if you have the resolve to choose sexual purity? Wondering why you should choose it? Read the Padgetts' story for some straight talk about sex and the truth that will set you free.
