The Conversation Crisis: The Courage to Have the Conversation A New Book by Sheila J. Simpson
Why relationships struggle—and the conversations that can strengthen them. Coming Soon!
About the Book
In a culture that often encourages people to walk away, The Conversation Crisis: The Courage to Have the Conversation offers a different path—one rooted in honesty, clarity, and meaningful dialogue.
Drawing from more than 40 years of FOCCUS® Marriage Ministries’ work with couples—and patterns seen across thousands of relationships—Sheila J. Simpson reveals why communication is not instinctive and how learning to have the right conversations can transform relationships.
This book is a practical, insightful guide for couples who want to move beyond surface-level communication and address the topics that truly shape their future together.
