Praise for this book
The Five Life Languages will appeal to anyone who seeks both better self-understanding and enhanced communication with others. Enriched with anecdotes from both his personal and professional life, Dr. Dave weaves Biblical truth with practical steps for those of us who have often wondered how the words we speak can be understood so differently than we intended. Whether you are most driven by a desire to be enough, to be admired, to be known, to be included, or to feel stability, you will find that Dr. Dave unpacks the "why" behind the ways we send and receive messages despite our best intentions. His expertise as a counselor ultimately points the reader to God, facilitating purposeful reflection and creating a pathway to healthier relationships and spiritual wholeness.
