Seven Desires

Looking Past What Separates Us to Learn What Connects Us

By: Mark Laaser, Debra Laaser

Narrated by: Ruth Bloomquist, Max Bloomquist

This new take on relationships changes everything! By examining the seven desires we all share, Mark and Debra Laaser illustrate how men and women are actually more alike than different. Do you long for ways to:

• Tune in more closely to your children?
• Connect on a deeper level with your spouse?
• Strengthen friendships?
• Reach a fuller relationship with God?

The Laasers look past what separates us to examine what connects us. Instead of focusing on how to sidestep or compensate for perceived differences, they dig deeper, to the core of our souls, to examine how the basic needs of all people make us more alike than different.

Seven Desires explores the common desires God has given us--to be heard, affirmed, blessed, safe, touched, chosen, and included. Using stories, biblical references, and sound psychological principles, the Laasers explain each desire and show us how we seek it and what it feels like to have it truly fulfilled. You will learn healthy ways to embody these desires in your relationships and receive the tools you need to start repairing and rebuilding relationships and developing new skills for creating emotional and spiritual intimacy.

Dig deeper into Godly desires for your future

This book has solidified what I have learned about myself ever since I went to the men’s workshop and the couples workshop at Faithful & True. A must read for you and your marriage.

Great material, poor audiobook execution. Get a paper copy instead!

The material is so helpful. And I appreciate the way the authors read the material. But this format is of limited use without an accompanying pdf to visually follow along with their layered philosophy and framework. They also could have put some of the application prompts and other workbook-esque parts they refer to in a pdf. But they didn’t. They could have actually titled the audiobook chapters so things can be found. These are things that require the listener to go buy the paper copy. Which I have now done. I wish I had known this, I would have skipped the audio book.

Missing sound

Starting halfway on chapter 4 forward audio drop off .
What I did hear was great.
