Intelligent, well-thought and gentle, this is the book to read when you need to talk with THE somebody about THE issue (of your choice, but anyone has at least one difficult situation in need to talk - with maybe not the easiest-to-tak-to person). The book is written from the Christian perspective.

The authoress is very honest and touches some sensitive topics (like hesitancy to have a frank converstation, anger or forgiveness) yet her language is warm - and this is the winning combination, as one starts to think about their own behaviour constructively, withous any offense or fuss.
The book covers (almost) all the phases of the talk - and that from the "inner" perspective, as if what the reader can do to make the conversation useful, including the change of their own thinking, patterns, wrong habits and even the change of heart towards more positive attitude (which is not easy and the authoress acknowledges that - but she offers the perspective of better good here and I agree). I am only missing the chapter about the borders a.k.a how to better protect yourself (there are some useful tips, but I personally but prefer the whole chapter about that topic).
The authoress offers well-thought perspective and useful tips.

On a personal note - I have certainly managed the potentially flammable converstation better thanks to the perspective from this book!
