LONGWOOD, FL-Sitting in a parking lot waiting for his wife to shop, veteran author Roger C. Bailey soon discovered that his 40 years' worth of researching human relationships was thrown out the window in favor of godly meditations and insights on human relationships from the One who knows. Parking Lot Meditations (paperback, 978-1-60266-477-7) is a book that reveals the insight he had while in these quiet, meditative moments with God. He came to recognize three different types of relationships that need time, commitment, and cultivation: relationship to the self, relationship to others, and relationship to God. Moreover, a relationship with God can bring a wonderful benefit: He can show you how to achieve fulfillment in these other relationships.
Says Bailey, "I believe we are living in a time where relationships are under great attack from many quarters. This book wants to make known that without spiritual guidance, individuals are not in a position to counter these attacks."
In those quiet moments alone with God, Bailey came to understand that the Bible is the "Manufacturer's Handbook for Successful Relationships." He parlayed that critical knowledge into what he believes is a collection of his most valuable insights about GodŐs role in the success of relationships. He is seeing these insights reap fruitful rewards in the exemplary life he leads-from a 40-year happy marriage, to an enriching family life and productive professional career as a psychologist.
Roger C. Bailey is currently a retired university professor who holds academic degrees in social psychology and clinical psychology. He resides in the mountains of east Tennessee with his wife Barbara.
