I'm quite surprised at the number of positive reviews this book received. Out of the many dozens of books I've bought over the years, this is one of maybe three that I've found so useless that I returned it. Mr. Scherf has no training as a psychologist; he bases his book on his religious faith. This would normally be just fine, but he boils it down to "You're OK because God made you," and "You'll be great if you just hold to the Truth" (i.e., the Bible). I am an intelligent _and_ religious person, and I found this book to be the worst vacuous pop-fluff-psycho-religious opinion-spewing I've seen in a long, long, long time.
