“This wonderful volume from David Powlison is a gift to the body of Christ that will help us use God's Word more skillfully in what he calls 'significant, life-rearranging mutual counseling.' If we are really committed to genuine community in the church, this is the biblical pathway that will lead us there.”

“Speaking Truth in Love is a winsome, readable handbook that delves into the heart of how God would have us relate to one another. It's not only an essential for the Christian counselor's library, it is also must reading for any believer who wants to build great and godly relationships.”
