Relationship Goals - by Michael Todd (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Michael believes that relationships are the epicenter of human thriving. All too often, though, we lack the tools or vision to build our relationships on the wisdom and power of God. In other words, it's good to have a goal, but you can't get there without proper aim. By charting a course that candidly examines our most common pitfalls, and by unpacking explosive truths from God's Word, Michael's debut book will transform a trendy hashtag into a future where your most cherished relationships thrive in relational life, hope, and abundance"--

"We are often encouraged to practice what we preach. However, I think it's also important to preach what we practice. This is exactly what Mike and Natalie Todd have done. They have taken their lumps and transformed them into lessons. They have taken their pain and turned it into purpose. They have taken their mistakes and turned them into ministry. They have taken their blessings and turned them into a book. If you are looking for a blueprint to a blessed relationship, this book is for you."--Dr. Dharius Daniels, lead pastor of Change Church and author of Relational Intelligence

"Mike has been a dear friend since we were twenty years old--just recording music in Tulsa together. As we've both moved into ministry, I've seen God expand Mike's reach greatly, but his humility and kindness have never changed with all the public praise. He's the real deal on and off the stage, and he's such an exemplary man of God for our generation. The message God has given Mike on relationship goals is one hundred percent fire! It is so important for anyone wanting to build Christ-centered, successful relationships. I'm so thankful for Mike and Natalie not just sharing a message but sharing their lives as a great example for marriage and family!"--Paul Daugherty, lead pastor of Victory in Tulsa, Oklahoma
