Living Oceans Apart - Delme Linscott (Post 2)

I've read about another six chapters of 'Living Oceans Apart'. It's good to have an 'easy to read' book. So far, this book works by expressing how people feel. I guess it acts a bit like counselling in that recognising and verbalising feelings helps people realise that it's ok to feel like that. There are also practical exercises to help people verbalise their own feelings and struggles.

Living Oceans Apart - Delme Linscott

I just started reading Delme's book today, although I've been wanting to read it for a while. What he has done so well is to identify an area of real need, especially in South Africa today. A book that helps people deal with family (especially if they are your children) living overseas is very appropriate.
The first two chapters explain the need for and purpose of the book.
