( ) I had the opportunity to get a review copy of The Self-Centered Spouse by Brad Hamrick. I, at first, had no desire to read this because, seemingly more often than not, I fall into that very category. However, it was the series title that encourages me to read it and the series title that left me convicted of areas where I fail but truly encouraged to press on towards a better representation, of Christ's love for the Church in my relationship with my wife. This book definitely shares The Gospel for Real Life. As someone with a psychology backgound (Associate's Degree… I know just enough to diagnose myself with everything) and a Reformed understanding of common grace, I was curious to see how much "secular" counseling would be syncretized with the Gospel in this booklet. ("Secular counseling" being anything beyond praying and "let go and let God", of course.). I was pleased to see that Hambrick utilized a lot practical counseling advice and ideas, grounded in a good understanding of what grace actually looks like in real, everyday, life. I really enjoyed how Hambrick guides the reader through what is a very difficult situation, a chronically broken marriage and what types of personalities typical find themselves in this struggle. Not only that, there is much insight to be gained for any of us who struggle with self-centeredness more than we would care to admit. I do not necessarily agree with his interpretation of Matthew 7:6, but the implications he draws out seem solid even if not neccesarily derived from this specific text. I received a review copy from the publisher. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Anyone in a marriage knows that we are all self-centered spouses who are married to self-centered spouses. But when this all-too-common sin becomes severe and chronic, it results in a marital environment of abuse or neglect---leaving the spouse on the receiving end feeling trapped and hopeless. But how might this outlook change if we knew that Jesus addressed just such chronically broken relationships? Brad Hambrick examines Jesus' teachings about relationships to show us how we can turn the other cheek while keeping away from unhealthy and destructive paths. He identifies different types of self-centered spouses to show us what we are dealing with, shares strategies for interacting with them, and points to evidences of genuine change to bring hope to anyone living with a chronically self-centered spouse."--Publisher description.
