Relationships are beautiful messes.
Relationship is a journey of discovery--a lost art, in fact. This generation has major challenges in deepening and growing personal relationships. Our technology-flooded environment has left many with limited relational experience and a fear of face-to-face connection, meeting new people, and going deep in relationship.
The church has done a decent job of helping people understand the need and importance of a relationship with God, but what about with each other? At the heart of every man, woman, and child is the need for connection--for relationships with people who love them for who they are.
In The Lost Art of Relationship, Dan Chrystal gets at the true heart of relationship based on the time-honored instruction "to love your neighbor as you love yourself." But what does that mean? How do we live out this odd instruction? Who is my neighbor, anyway? What makes relationships healthy, and what makes them fail? Through Dan's personal stories and difficult life lessons, readers will come away encouraged, inspired, and motivated to love the people in their life more fully. If you desire deep and meaningful connections, now is the time to discover the lost art of relationship. 
"This book will make you laugh and cry. It will make you look at things in a fresh new way. And it will definitely make you uncomfortable. ...ultimately, Dan calls us to live, love, and lead like the Jesus we claim to follow."
--Ray Johnston, author of The Hope Quotient and founding and lead pastor at Bayside Church, Roseville, California
"The Lost Art of Relationship is like a roadmap to finding, building, and treasuring friendships....never before have people seemed so adrift of meaningful, face-to-face relationships. If you are someone who longs for deeper connections, then Dan's book was written for you!"
--Chris Bueno, Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Avenue Entertainment
"Dan has the gift of risk-taking in seeking out and building relationships. If you want a quick fix to relationships, don't read this book. But, if you want to learn how to build life-long, meaningful friendships, then this book might be for you."
--Dr. Sam Huddleston, Assistant Superintendent Assemblies of God, Northern California District, and author of Five Years to Life

Chain-ged: Finding Freedom in Christ through Poetry, Principles, and Prayer

"His light broke through the darkness and he led us out in freedom from death's dark shadow and snapped every one of our chains." -Psalm 107:14 (TPT)Casey Cassady is a young woman who overcame a lifestyle of partying, alcohol, promiscuity, toxic relationships, rejection, shame, guilt, regret, and probably anything else you can think of, by learning to follow Christ. Now free, Casey is using her new life, new future, and new passions to help other women and girls find their way out of the brokenness and bondage they were never meant for. Determined to live freely from her past, she uses poetry, prayer, and the word of God to draw us deeper into her healing process.Chain-ged: Finding Freedom in Christ through Poetry, Principles, and Prayer is an artistic, soulful, and authentic work that teaches who God is, what His character is like, and why He can be trusted with our fractured souls. Casey shows that as you surrender to God each and every day, He will help you find your way to live a deeper revelation of who you are and the beautiful future ahead of you. Each chapter presents a poem, principle, practice, and prayer designed to help you work through your thoughts, emotions, new knowledge, and how you might respond. "The process of healing and growing into who God intentionally created you to be is not an easy journey. But the more you are able to surrender to God and allow Him to transform your mind, your heart, and, ultimately, your life, every step forward with Him, the good and the not-so-good, will be worth it in the end." -Casey"It is a special gift to help women gain the healing they need, all while ending the identity crisis so many of us have or had." - Jennifer Mason, Founder of " Single Lady Notes" on Instagram, Author of Good Girl, Gone Bad, Gone Holy"Chain-ged is beautifully written, an honest display of God's love for us through poetry.
