Recommended Books: Relationships

Here's my "top ten" for relationships. Some of these focus on marriage, but others are helpful across the board. The book How to Win Friends and Influence People is one of the most instrumental books I've ever read it. I read it as a senior in college. It was one of two books that got me addicted to books.

The Love List by Dr. Les and Leslie Parrott
Catching the Rhythm of Love by Neil Clark Warren
7 Habits of Highly Effective Families by Stephen Covey
Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas
Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend
The Language of Love by Dr. Gary Smalley and John Trent
Relationships by Dr. Les and Leslie Parrott
The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman

You said that How to win friends and influence people was one of the TWO books that got you hooked on reading. what was the first?

-from a person who lives nowhere near DC but check your blogs like a bad habit..and by bad I mean good! Keep em coming! Nothing better then reading a batterson blog in the middle of the work day or before you retire to bed. Some sentences or entire blogs I cut out and put in my bible next to a verse or on the inside cover so that I don't forget the lesson/thought learned!

The other one is Einstein: the Life and Times by Ronald Clark. I'm not sure what it was about those two books, but I became a readaholic.
