Interpersonal relationships and personal growth can be enhanced when you speak up for what you believe in. Drawing upon her counseling experience as well as her struggles in her own relationships as a mother, wife, pastor, and teacher, Carolyn Stahl Bohler presents guidelines for deciding when and how to take stands and finding strength to do so.Taking a stand, says Bohler, encourages honesty, integrity and self-esteem, even at the risk of being misunderstood. Each chapter concludes with reflections for personal meditation or group discussion.
