BRIEF OVERVIEW
‘Fulfilling Relationships’ expresses the Lord’s counsel that we are not to become the punching bag of every bully. Neither are we to return their railing with ours. Rather, we are encouraged to become a Shepherd, neighbor and friend to those wounded and scarred of our Father in Heaven’s children among us, showing them the way, through our care for them. We are to approve and encourage behavior that is true to their Divine natures. We are to help them experience the good, so they know to refuse the dross. As we do, we are promised to find our lives fulfilled and feel the joy that accompanies laboring with God and angels.
The liberating truth is, while walking away might prevent contention, the Savior’s admonition to love, bless, do good and pray for our would-be enemies actually commences their deeply needed healing. Further, not only will we benefit others, but as we minister to them, a beautiful Divine change settles upon our own character: One worthy of God’s Spirit.
Every day offences come from our sweetheart, or parents, children, neighbors, fellow-workers or complete strangers. It may take all our self control just to walk away from such railings. However, if we follow the Master and become worthy to be called by His name- walking away is not enough. The Redeemer tenderly invites us to: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”

FULFILLING RELATIONSHIPS is absolutely life-changing; the best relationship book I have ever read. Deep joy happens the very minute one changes from being a “taker” to a “giver”, and this book explains how with powerful personal stories. I couldn’t put it down, and read it in one sitting, long into the night. It caused me to re-think — and then improve — every relationship in my life, from child and spouse to co-workers and neighbors.
Love is the most powerful force on earth, but how do we “become” love? By example; we need to see it demonstrated. And that is what this book does so exceptionally well!
Fulfilling Relationships has so many beautiful and profound pearls of wisdom shared throughout the book that are invaluable. I know I will be referring to them every time I am in a crisis from now on. The book has deeply moved me and I am sure it will be a life-changing experience for everyone who reads this book. Exceptional!
Little book, powerful message. A joy to read. Changed the way I look at my life and the people in it.
If you feel that your relation with Lord Jesus is hampered just because of your relation with someone else well read the book… It works….
Don`t we all come to this world as guests—constantly striving to find the golden rule of a successful rapport with everybody and everything we come across? From birth to death a person`s success or failure is measured by the kind of relationship he/ she has had with elements of this world: people. Nature and beyond it all,with the spirit behind this “relative world”. But striking the right chord in a relationship often proves a hard nut to crack.
The world seems to constantly echo with a disconcerting chorus of voices, the result of frustrated relationships between parents and their children, husbands and wives, friends, siblings, in-laws, employees and colleagues—individuals disillusioned with themselves for not being able to relate successfully to their environs.
The most interesting aspect of this scenario is that, today there happens to be no dearth of methods to arrive at that elusive “success” in the act of relating.
After reading this lovely book “FULFILLING RELATIONSHIPS” and truly understanding & accepting every word it says I am sure making any relationship work won’t be difficult & believe me I have been referring to this book every time I face some issue in any of my relationships.
Its a exceptional book thank you John to bringing this book to us……
There are few spiritual and religious books I have read that feel like they are in a class by themselves. `Fulfilling Relationships’ is one of these with proven universal truths about relationships at every level. It is easy reading. The photographs give it a personal touch! Many of the stories are a delight to read, with no apparent editing to protect the author, using them unedited for the benefit of the reader. Putting these principles into practice should improve relationships. I recommend it to everyone who believes in family values and compassion in our treatment of each other. It will be a great addition to my library! I admire John Lee’s. courage for sharing some of his intimate life stories with me!
Embracing the central theme of the immutable and eternal law of relationships throughout his book, John J. Lee, Jr. expounds most lucidly with no extrapolations his intricate family life, the Word of God and our Friend, Jesus Christ. This book is truly a treasure which should be a part of every home library.

FULFILLING RELATIONSHIPS is profound in its ability to help us see clearly those persons closest to us, those with whom we wish to grow eternally closer, and understand what we must do to accomplish that goal. John Lee is able to cut through the murk of relationship pain and frustration, and points out the path to joy and fulfillment.
FULFILLING RELATIONSHIPS is a rare gem in a cluttered world of dross and misunderstanding. Get it. Read it. Believe it.
Insightful, compelling, a pleasure to read, will leave you thinking and pondering … a powerful, life-changing message. I loved the sweet views into the author’s family experience. An important book for anyone who really cares about the quality of the many relationships that surround each of us.

” It’s life changing book which teaches us how to follow spirit of God at times, more over it has a very powerful influencing stories of author himself, this book is for those who wants to change their life.”
As one reads “Fulfilling Relationships” we will find that when we adopt and apply the truths in our lives as the author did in his we will become stronger . We will be able to forgive and have a more satisfying and rewarding life. If you believe in the value of your family and relationships then I recommend that you read this small book. A short 176 pages can make a difference in your life and of those around you.
Those you know and those you do not know but will one day encounter.
Congratulations on writing such a lovely, understanding, truthful and inspiring book.
A great attitude changing book which presents new vision of life to us. In our crazy world in which the only rule is that there is no rule and most common law is dog eat dog, such a point of view which based on love and peace is most radical one.
An impressive little book with a message that is simple, straightforward, and profound. It will remain with me always.
Many of us already know the Savior’s doctrine, but the way this particular teaching is delivered makes it surprisingly doable for each one of us to enjoy happy and fulfilling relationships.
I highly recommend this book for each of us, but particularly for husbands and wives. It’s a quick and easy read, illustrated with true stories.
I wish I could have read Fulfilling Relationships forty years ago when our children were young.
In his book, Fulfilling Relationships, John Lee makes plain the unchanging laws that govern and guide our relationships and so powerfully affect our lives whether we understand the laws or not. The author invites each reader to look deep within themselves and their past to evaluate the truthfulness of these principles and begin to live life more richly with this new found understanding. Reading the book has re-opened my eyes to the wonderful opportunities I have each day to share the light and warmth I have been given and reject the selfish ways of much of modern society that leads to loneliness and despair. A needed reminder to experience life more fully by engaging in give-receive interactions with those I love most and those I don’t know at all. Thanks John!
This was a book that I will keep and read over again many times. It’s a delightful book and helps you see how God would like you to approach your relationships…to give, give, give, instead of take, take, take. :) The author takes the time to talk about each relationship you might have in your life.
Highly recommended!
