Foreword by Keith Price

There can surely be no better recommendation for a book than its having stood the test of clinical trial. That such a test has been applied to the principles enunciated here is surely adequate endorsement.

As you read these pages you will sense a shepherd’s heart.

Though a man of science, this man of God has no time for ivory towers. Having gone through the fires of life’s uphill experiences himself, he understands what others feel in times of struggle.

Gareth Evans has proved these principles not only in pastoral work in Victoria, British Columbia, but also further afield in places as diverse as Mexico, Africa, Europe, and Australia where he has been invited to present the material to many different groups of churches and Christian leaders.

Because of his high view of the inspiration of the scriptures from which he draws these lessons, I am confident that they will retain their value until we, being made perfect, no longer need to take the initiative to restore broken relationships.
