Toxic Relationships: Taking Refuge in Christ (31-Day Devotionals for Life)

Satisfying, loving relationships are a gift from God. But what starts out pleasant becomes a prison if we grow dependent on someone else’s affection, opinions, and presence in our lives. If you’re caught in a codependent relationship―whether romantic, platonic, parental, professional, or something else―that is consuming your life and thoughts and ruling your emotions, get help! An idolatrous relationship becomes “toxic” even when abuse is not present, but Christ offers the stable, loving presence we truly need. Through thirty-one daily readings with reflection questions and practical action steps, Ellen Mary Dykas helps you to renew your thinking: growing in your trust of the Lord and becoming prepared to cultivate Christ-centered relationships with others from a place of confidence and peace.
