Customer Reviews

Brilliant - I got so much from this book!
Okay so it's not perfect but then I've never read a book that is. This was a beacon to me when I had no good relationships in place. It gave me a focal point for making painful changes. And now several years on I'm reaping the rewards for the intensive labour.
I would particularly recommend this to anybody who is lonely, hurting or angry and can't see why friendships just aren't there or aren't working.

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.

Changed my life!
This book helped me to overcome much of the pain of an abusive childhood.
