This Book Will Change Your Life!
For so long I've mostly heard about how important a father is in a child's development. I've never heard anyone else speak about how profound the mother's role is in the child's devlopment like this book does. I feel like I've gone to the eye doctor and have been given new glasses to see more clearly with. I think this book is core reading for anybody who wants to understand why they are the ...

An amazing book that will change the way you look at parenting.
For most parents, it is just anough to make it through. They are not looking at the long term and the fact that they are shaping the life of a future citizen of the world (and hopefully heaven). Many parents, even Christian ones, miss the mark in parenting because they forget that God teaches that discipline is a neccassary part for maturity. If children do not learn discipline at a young age, ...

Hiding From Love: The Book that Helped Change My Life
Hiding From Love provided me with the insight I needed to understand all the why's I had dealt with my entire life. At the age of 45 I was finally able to understand why I had felt so "unlovable", "insecure" and "stupid" as a child, that there were very valid reasons for my thinking that way about myself that were NOT MY FAULT. I began to see myself with confidence, and worthy of being loved, ...

How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals About Personal Growth19 reviews
Dr. Henry Cloud, Dr. John Townsend
Zondervan, 2004
Insightful viewpoint, very interesting
This book can be summarized as a Biblical based approach to understanding personal growth and how that relates to spiritual growth. Two psychologists, Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend examine the personal growth process and point out how that process is found within the pages of the Bible. With that personal growth process as the starting point they then show how personal growth is in fact ...

Boundaries with Teens: When to Say Yes, How to Say No9 reviews
Dr. John Townsend
Zondervan, 2006
Offers encouragement to parents on every page
The problem with most self-help books is that we turn to them when all else has failed, and often it is too late to deal effectively with the current crisis. Not that they can't help to point us in the right direction, but the advice would have been a lot more helpful if we had sought it before we got into the problem. Unfortunately, human nature seems to adhere to the "if it ain't broke, don't ...

Safe People: How to Find Relationships That Are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't38 reviews
Dr. Henry Cloud, Dr. John Townsend
Zondervan, 1996
One of the best books I've ever read
This book is one of the best books I've ever read on why I was attracting unsafe people and how to find safe ones and the importance of evaluating character.
The first story was amazing since I think I dated that very girl Dr. Townsend wrote about. The girl that says one thing and then does another. On the next page, they discuss their concern when college kids tell them they want a Christian ...

Boundaries Workbook: When to Say Yes When to Say No To Take Control of Your Life16 reviews
Dr. Henry Cloud, Dr. John Townsend
Zondervan, 1995
As a supplement to the class: Boundaries
I taught this class and required the Participants Guide, but recommended the Workbook. If I were to do this again, I would more strongly recommend the Workbook, as it goes much further into study and is much more helpful and rewarding. The very nature of this study - is on a schedule (it tries to keep its boundaries!), means that it often brushes over very complex and valuable information, ...

The importance of boundaries in dating
I have read this book and it changed my life. I learned the limitations to put in my life to protect myself from foolish mistakes. The boundaries are also given in the bible.....so confirmation of my actions based on my reading this book is given from the Highest.
I decided to give this book to a friend who is having dating difficulties.
If she takes the principles seriously and puts them ...

Great book - suggestions easy to implement - very realistic
I got this book on audio tape because I travel a lot in my car. Out of the 5-6 books I have listened to over the past 3-4 months this was one of my favorites if not the favorite. Good suggestions, most easy to implement others harder because it is sometimes hard to let our kids learn some things on their own. I think using the principals in this book will help kids with their own confidence ...

Loving People: How to Love and Be Loved1 review

Thomas Nelson, 2008
Loving People
So often we find ourselves in the middle of stress and anxiety and wanting to run away from it all. There are two sides to being in that situation. We are either the ones trying to heal from wounds or we are the ones trying to help another heal from their wounds. Either side can bring on feelings that block the love and peace that is so important for us to feel and experience daily. Dr. John ...

The real history of America
I read this book first in 1967 while in high school, given to me by a teacher who wanted me to understand the real American History. When he told me an American general marched on World War One veterans in Washington, DC after WW I and killed many who were looking for veterans benefits I knew this book would be special. It delivers history in a most compelling and unique way, unlike any other ...

It's Not My Fault: The No-Excuse Plan for Overcoming Life's Obstacles 3 reviews

Solves the Problem!
I don't think I realized I was making excuses. After all, I had many VALID REASONS for my poor performance in many areas. But this book helped me immensely to understand that even when I have valid reasons (and sometimes invalid ones) there is still only one way to solve the problem, and that is to tackle it head on. This book gave me lots of useful, easy to understand tools for overcoming ...

12 "Christian" Beliefs That Can Drive You Crazy13 reviews
Henry Cloud, John Townsend
Zondervan, 1995
Literally, my most favorite book...
In a very easy read, each chapter reviews a different crazy Christian teaching such as "I just need to give it to the Lord...". It explains how each of our our crazy Christian thinking ways keep us stuck in our problems. The most awesome parts are the very clear explanations of how to address the issues in life that we try to apply these crazy ways to.
If you feel many suggested "Christian" ...

Saved my marriage
My therapist recommended this book to me and it made a world of difference in my life. I was close to packing up and leaving. I read it from cover to cover and it put a lot of things into perspective. Then my husband picked it up. All of a sudden he was able to see life through my eyes and understood that being a breadwinner in the family was not his only role in the family. Although he was ...

Possible the best child-rearing book available!!
I loved this book. As a mother of a six month old it was a blessing to find this book. It opened my eyes to areas in my life that I needed to work on so that I will be able to teach my child when the time comes. It also gave me an outline of what I need to be mindful of as a parent raising a child. Excellent!!!
