Misguided Teachings

30 Originally released in 2004 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, by mid-2020 Love and Respect had sold more than two million copies and been translated into several languages. I recognize that Emerson Eggerichs has been a pastor many years, holds a PhD in child and family ecology, and is cited to have done much good through the marriage ministry he and his wife have led, but I still caution that his premises are not wholly biblical. I have quoted from the book in several places.
