A book about relationships shouldn’t just benefit a reader—it should benefit a community. Beyond Awkward Side Hugs does an excellent job of putting that at the forefront.

Scott Vaudrey uses his experience as a pastor and relationship coach to explain the key steps to assessing what’s making a relationship hard and then choosing to either build a bridge or set a boundary.

I really enjoyed the easy reading of this book despite the depth that it contains. Burns’ ideas are Scriptural and down to earth and extremely helpful. Highly recommended.
