Creating Lasting Relationships: A Concise Guide to Relating Well with People

By Blessing O. Johnson

The ability to build and sustain meaningful relationships with others contributes immensely to our long-term success in life. No one can thrive in isolation. To maximise the blessing that the gift of men can be in our journey, we must learn the art of communication. We must also understand how to handle conflicts and appreciate the important ingredients that make one's relationship with others mutually fulfilling. All these and more are what Blessing Johnson practically explored in this book. I am confident that this beautiful book will encourage, bless and energise you. I celebrate the wisdom and grace in the life of Blessing Johnson.
