More Full Presentation
If we understand God's value system, we can come to a complete system of understanding of our relationship to God. This values-base perspective is based on the work of Darren Twa. Darren Twa is the author of several books that cover these topics in depth. Please read them.
- God's Value System gives a full presentation of this useful perspective.
- Emotions: Revealing our Values explains how our emotions show our values to us.
- Relationship and ValueSystems is a short book to introduce this topic. (And it is available in a free on-line version.)
- Darren's Sunday audio Messages also cover these topics.
