Everybody who buys one for themselves wants to give them to all their relatives and friends!                                                                                                                                                                               Carrie Locatelli - Fact and Fiction Bookstore

Intimacy In Action is simply the best book I've seen that combines the principles of A Course In Miracles with intimacy and/or relationships. Jerry masterfully blends the Course's principles with humorous stories and anecdotes, personal experiences, practical exercises and years of experience as an effective counselor. Intimacy In Action, along with A Return To Love and Love Is Letting Go Of Fear, can be considered a top priority book for any Course In Miracles student and a must for anyone who desires to make their relationship(s) sacred.                                                                                                                                                                         Dr. Michael Mirdad, Counselor, Spiritual Teacher

Jerry Stefaniak’s new relationship book is a welcome resource for couples who want practical, down-to-earth tools for achieving what is one of the most difficult goals to attain in life: a healthy love relationship. Jerry tells it like it is and we believe him because he convinces us he has been there. Some of the personal relationship breakdowns he shares are downright comedic, (and certainly will evoke in most of us our own relational boondoggles). And sometimes after loosening us up with his disarmingly honest revelations, he hits us between the eyes with the solution, often something as profound in its simplicity as it is in its effectiveness. Many of the challenges and issues commonly experienced in relationships are addressed with creativity and optimism. And with the book’s evident spiritual grounding, based on A Course in Miracles, Jerry operates from the important premise that couples, first of all, need a spiritual foundation. As a member of a psychotherapist couple myself, and working with lots of couples, I see Jerry’s book as a great, easy-to-read relationship companion, and one I will recommend to my clients.                                                                                                                                           Jerry Goodman, LMSW-ACP

I strongly recommend this book to people who want to follow the path of healing and growth that is available in relationships. I will certainly recommend this book to my client couples.                         Gerald R. Oncken, Ph.D. Counselor

This is a very strong book. The author provides information and devices for introspection and self-discovery that really stand on their own. The author is an experienced relationship advisor and workshop leader and his information is valuable, authoritative, and well written. Rev. Stefaniak has created a well-written, easy-to-read, engaging book.                                                                                                                          Book reviewer for Llewellyn Publishers

Jerry, thank you for a book that presents A Course in Miracles relationship principles in easily understood conversational language. I love how you share your personal experience of your spiritual journey into relationships. Thank you also for the practical tools you provide in helping me to better my relationships.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Janice Gabriels

I think the Reverend Stefaniak is on to something unique and effective, with his use of humor to reinforce valid points, and, not so incidentally, to relieve stress.                                                                 Bunny Hoest, Syndicated Cartoonist

No matter what kind of relationship you have right now, there’s something in this book that you can use. Every relationship – whether friend, partner, husband or wife – can use a good dose of Intimacy in Action.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Phaedra Rogers

In Intimacy in Action – Relationships that Feed the Soul Rev. Stefaniak continues what he began with Compassionate Living, a sharing of his knowledge and personal experiences on the path of personal growth. His message that life and relationships are about growing, healing, loving and joy is delivered with humor, insight and, of course, compassion. His conversational style makes for easy reading as he coaxes, prods, reassures, and loves us into creating the life and relationships we truly want.                                                  Carol Stein
