by Kim and Penn Holderness (395.872 Hol)
You may be familiar with the authors from their YouTube and other media presence as the Holderness Family or their recent appearance on The Amazing Race TV series, which they won. They were also both in the television news industry for a number of years. In this 2021 release the married couple give detailed accounts of misunderstandings, assumptions, and outright arguments/fights they have had over the course of their relationship. These events are used to illustrate ways to develop better communication and relationship skills, particularly for partners/spouses. Their sense of humor, as well as their devotion to each other and their family life, shines through.
A lot of the content is based on
Penn and Kim’s friendship, and counseling sessions, with their friend and
pastor, Dr. Christopher Edmonston. They quote and credit him so frequently that
I’m surprised his name isn’t included in the author credits. The book is
arranged with a structure that highlights Kim’s and Penn’s sides of a
disagreement or other problem they have encountered in their years together and
how they, and anyone experiencing similar relationship roadblocks, can resolve
it and possibly prevent a recurrence. This personal journal of ‘fighting’,
then, is also a workbook for couples who are already experiencing such
challenges or are likely to in the future.
