About this title

About the Author

Father Albert Cutié has entered millions of homes throughout the world with his television shows "Father Albert," "Change Your Life with Father Albert," "America Live," and "Straight Talk with Father Albert," his radio program, "Direct Line with Father Albert," and a nationally syndicated newspaper advice column, "Advice from a Friend." Ordained in 1995, he is a priest of the Archdiocese of Miami, where he is General Director of Pax Catholic communications.

Reviews

Father Albert's approach, drawn from his counseling experience, is straightforward, well organized and supportive. The seven paths include "building solid foundations," respect, clear expectations, honesty and communication. Readers may get a slight feeling that the Miami-based priest and TV host is telling them what to believe or what is right, rather than giving tools to explore their own approaches to relationships. Some nuggets, however, will help identify a potentially compatible type of person and avoid typical complications. (Jan. 3)
