Awesome book
One of the best things about this book is that he backs up what he is saying by scripture. So you know the book is really based on the Bible. He also tells a lot of stories about other people which makes you feel as if it is not just a bunch of information being shoveled on you. I am only on chapter 4 but I have already learned so much about myself and the things that I have hidden in my life and why I have hidden them. I cannot wait to get further into the book and to start to learn how to change it!

accessible and very readable
I think many readers will find this books useful and sound. Whether you find it useful may depend on your past exposure to self-development or spiritual growth. It may also depend on of you are new to the idea of looking inside regarding withdrawal. If you already have a strong habits of introspection, and know why you withdraw, you may find the approach of the book simple or pithy or too conversational. (The books is more about withdrawal than about fear of or struggle with intimacy.) If you have not had much chance analyze your past, and want an approach that relies on a traditional foundation, then it book may be very useful to you.

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, for the first time in my life! I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone struggling with childhood abandonment issues.
