We yearn to be accepted and loved for who we really are. Unfortunately, we sabotage our efforts to develop successful relationships when we feel threatened. We play manipulative games with each other, protecting ourselves without realizing it. These subtle games are crippling our relationships.
Let's Stop Playing Games addresses this issue with some serious fun, helping us:
oexpose our unhealthy games and why we play them;
oenjoy humorous yet sad stories that show how these games work (or don't work) for us;
oexplore some game changers--practical, loving solutions to replace our games.
In the end, we hope to be lovingly transformed in our relationships with our friends and family and even with God. We will be connected to each other, forming the authentic community we yearn for. What a great place to live!
