It doesn't take much to realize that great fractures exist in churches, homes, and within relationships today because commitment toward one another is fleeting.  There is restoration and great remedy you will find however in author and minister Debbie Davis book Keepers of Salt.  Salt, she explains, in early Bible times, was exchanged as a covenant ("Covenant of salt")to signify the importance of a promise that could not be broken.She carefully draws from experience and within the ministry, accounts of both broken relationships as well as what it means to have those close to you that are truly in covenant with you.  Praying with one another can be a strong ingredient leading to covenant relationships.  Because the world watches the church to gain an understanding of who God really is, it is imperative that they see covenants and not relationships broken up by offenses, hurts, or disappointments.This book will aid you in understanding and putting to practice the need to pray for those that hurt you, not retaliate, and help you bring down the wall of self preservation due to past woundedness.  Author Davis draws from Biblical examples of those that experienced curses by failing to meet obligations and contrasting it with the blessings from others that were faithful to covenant.  Her heart is for you to see that no offense is worth embittering yourself over but as you lean on the Father, He will enable you to love and bless those in exchange.As the restorative principles and examples are given I know you will see God's heart for His people more clearly and why He places such a great emphasis on love, unity and forgiveness.  In turn you will look at others differently and possibly begin steps toward reconciliation where needed.  becoming a keeper of salt- a keeper of covenant with the leading of the Holy Spirit- will give you favor with both God and man.  I highly recommend this book for those in ministry and others desiring unity in relationships.
