This book has been life-changing!!
This book has changed the way I view relationships and how to handle past issues. It has very sound scriptural references which I go back to time and time again. This book has helped me put into perspective all of my relationships. If everyone read this book, and applyed the principles, this would be a much better world.

Changes That Heal, paperback
The four main points of this book can help any person understand more who they are and how they relate to others. Bonding, how to say "no", learning that people are neither all good nor all bad are points that Dr. Henry Cloud explains in a biblical and tangible way. The book is well-written, broken up in understandable sections and gives you something to think about at every turn. The author pulls from many people's life experiences and there are many examples of everyday people that you can relate to. You will find examples that help you understand the points he is trying to point out. This book is a must read.There is a work book which goes along with the book, but Changes That Heal stands alone or can be enhanced by the workbook.

Interesting, but does not suggest change
This is an interesting theory that people who are lacking emotionally fail in one of four areas: bonding, boundaries, ability to accept and exert authority, and ability to discern right from wrong. What's missing from the book are ways to remedy the lack in each of these "growth areas." In addition, what the book doesn't seem to acknowledge is that bonding and boundaries (and perhaps the other two areas, as well) are tightly coupled, so that if a person were difficient in one, he would probably be in the others, as well. I like his analysis, but would have preferred suggestions for how to take care of those areas that are lacking. Similar Products
