By President Dallin H. Oaks – 1 st Counselor in the First Presidency￾Church of Jesus Christ of the later Days Saint In a world where the noise of relationships has grown louder but the clarity of connection has become fainter, BODMAS Relationship arrives as a prophetic revelation and divine instruction for this generation. In the same way that the mathematical principle of BODMAS guides the proper order of operations to arrive at the correct solution, Samuel Clinton Chuks has decoded a universal truth: relationships must be discerned, ordered, and understood with divine clarity to avoid emotional error and destiny misalignment. This book is not merely a clever analogy between math and human interaction—it is a spiritual compass, a psychological toolkit, and a relational warfare manual. It confronts the soul with uncomfortable truths about the people we surround ourselves with and challenges the reader to categorize and evaluate connections not based on sentiment, but on fruit, function, and future. Samuel Clinton Chuks, a man of deep faith, resilience, and experiential authority, does not speak from theory. He speaks from the fires of betrayal, the weight of loss, the triumph of purpose, and the healing waters of forgiveness. His transparency in this book does not just expose the different categories of people we encounter—Brackets, Offs, Dividers, Multipliers, Adders, and Subtractors—it provides biblical, emotional, and strategic tools for how to respond to each. “Not every connection is covenant. Not every friend is meant to walk you to your throne. Some are there to test your discernment. Others are sent to test your endurance. But the right ones? They are sent to multiply your grace and add to your glory.” — Samuel Clinton Chuks This is not just a book to read. It is a mirror to confront, a map to follow, and a manual to apply. Whether you are a pastor navigating church relationships, a leader building a team, a spouse seeking peace, or a youth trying to understand the voices around you—this book will serve as a divine diagnostic tool. It will teach you how to heal from subtractors, bless your multipliers, and most importantly, position yourself in divine alignment.
