Massimo and Anne-Florence Tursi - Salvationist, September 1993
"You may have come across one of the authoris of this book, Gordon Macdonald, through two other very good titles ... having greatly appreciated those books, we expected much from Till the Heart Be Touched and we were not disappointed. Macdonald and his wife give some deep insights into communication, the the context of couples, families and friends. As the writers analyse different levels of intimancy, the reader realises what richness there is in communication, and also the pain which can come when people open up their hearts to others. The subject of conflicts is approached in a positive way, the writers showing that if disagreements are handled sensitively, they can produce growth in relationships. The last two chapters offer valuable insights into two important issues. The first of these subjects is the celebration of sexual intimacy in a couple. The experience of sexual intimacy, which is both unique and often repeated, is of great significance to the devoted couple. In the final chapter the authors draw perceptive parallels, which are present in biblical tradition, between the life of a couple and the relationship between humans and God. We warmly recommend this reading to all couples and to all who want to build deep and strong relationships."

"When someone knows what they're talking about, you're more inclinced to take notice of what they say. So when Gordon and Gail Macdonald - well-known for having reached the depths in their relationship, and no strangers to repentance, forgiveness and rebuilding their broken world - write a book about intimacy, you know it really is worth reading. The book examines the transparency, sensitivity and trust that is needed before the inmost self can be revealed without fear of rejection. Some passages are moving and beautifully written - yet the book is down to earth and honest. Anyone in search of true 'oneness' - particularly if they are experiencing difficulty in their marriage - will be helped by reading this book."
