Spiritual advice for peace and harmony in the family
The author deals with the challenges encountered in the relationship of the couple and also writes. about sensitive topics such as financial difficulties in marriage, infidelity or lying, substance addictions or gambling. Family and faith strengthening advice and recommendations are provided.
“This book was born out of deep pain. A pain caused by the alarming number of divorces, by our inability to relate properly, to invest in fidelity, to be loyal and kind to one another. In this modernity full of compromises and shadows, I hear countless life stories every day, not a few of which are unhappy. In the face of such testimonies, I am often saddened and amazed to see how much harm people can do to each other, sometimes out of pride, sometimes out of ignorance, and more rarely out of malice. They are realities in our lives that I hear daily as a clergyman and I cannot remain indifferent to them”says priest Vasile Ioana.
The volume is presented as a plea for open communication, mutual respect and understanding. According to the editors, the “Book of Good Understanding” proposes concrete solutions and practical advice, often starting from the real stories of the parishioners whom the Father managed to help during his pastoral activity.
This volume complements The Family Book, the bestseller launched in 2021 that reached more than 400,000 believers, and offers a deep vision, based on Christian values, on the most important relationships in the life of modern man, inviting readers to place God in the midst of their family and marriage.
Vasile Ioana reminds that genuine love is patient, and the first argument does not always mean the end. With the help of prayer, through faith and love, spouses can find the way back to each other, but also the way to Salvation.
“If I could put into your hearts only one thought, one truth about the importance of a beautiful relationship between spouses, it would be this: our marriage is meant to make us happy together, to enjoy each other and to be saved together. We are not in marriage to criticize, judge or make each other miserable, but to support, love and grow together.” says Father Vasile Ioana.
