Authentic communication is much more than just talking. It is understanding and being understood; identifying a tone of voice; detecting nonverbal cues; responding appropriately to offense; resolving conflicts; knowing what to say, when to say it and how to say it; experiencing the risks and rewards of knowing and being known; and much more.

Dennis Rainey

Der US-amerikanische evangelikale Autor, Redner und Radiomoderator Dennis Rainey (* 1948) gründete 1976 das Ehe- und Familienwerk FamilyLife und prägte es über vier Jahrzehnte lang. Er vertritt eine komplementaristische Theologie traditioneller Geschlechterrollen, die ihm weite Verbreitung im konservativen Evangelikalismus, aber auch Kritik an patriarchalen Strukturen einbrachte. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Texte und Andachten praxisbezogene Ratschläge zur Beziehungsgestaltung, Eheführung und christlichen Erziehung.
