The High Cost of High Control
Not all relationships are healthy, and some center around a battle for control. Manipulation, power plays, and domination destroy the trust and affection we have for each other. Dr. Tim Kimmel wants to help you escape this losing game by helping you learn the rules of healthy relationships in The High Cost of High Control.

In his book, Dr. Kimmel wants to help you understand the various types of controlling behaviors. You’ll also learn how to break free of controlling personalities—both your own and others—in the hope of developing or restoring secure, lasting relationships. The High Cost of High Control uses biblically based insights and stories to help you enjoy authentic relationships, without the weight of manipulation.
Our mission here at FamilyLife is to provide hope and help to marriages and families with encouraging biblical content. Your generosity could help provide resources to restore a broken marriage or strengthen a family.
