As i read i found i had to make notes, it's as if the Holy Spirit turned on a flashlight into my soul & showed me areas I need His touch in - like an insightful manual. I will be using the book over the next few weeks prayerfully. It is a great resource to deepen your walk with Christ, irregardless of whether you are a young or mature believer. Thank you Thien for being refreshingly real & transparent.

This is a really insightful book. Using examples from his experience, I found myself identifying with many of the situations portrayed.
I was able to fill three pages of my own version Cliff Notes which now contains invaluable direction and practical ways to develop better relationship's with teams and subsequently lead much more effectively.
Highly recommended reading for anyone in buisiness.

This book is engaging, well-written and insightful. I found myself nodding along as I was reading and came away with a better awareness of myself at work and with very practical strategies on how to embrace and even enjoy (!) my work. I also find so much of the wisdom in these pages applicable to parenting!

The author does a fantastic job taking very abstract principles and translating them to everyday practices anyone can accomplish. Her erudition is obvious, but I really appreciate how she made her book so approachable, fun and authentic.

Dave Waugh's book offers an integrative spiritual perspective to self-care and for working psychotherapeutically with others. His sensitivity and insight shines through the pages and he includes many practical examples as well.

Dr. Watson's book is practical, timely and poignant. His insight is profound, yet not hard to understand.
"Maximize the Moment" is bursting with solutions to life's most perplexing situations. Once you pick it up, it becomes hard to put down. Dr. Watson's love affair with our language is evident as he paints simple, brilliant pictures using the palette of life's most complex dilemmas. His unique voice leaps off of the page and embraces your inquiring mind. This book is a MUST for anyone desiring a victorious life and a closer walk with God.

I found this book very enlightening and practical.  Juli Slattery has very real insight into women and our role as wives.  She explores the real power that wives have in their husbands lives.  They can use that power to build up their husbands or abuse it to tear him down.  The book is very easy to read about real issues and not just "christian-speak" writing.

As a business leadership coach, I find that Marilee's practical insights become empowering if as the reader we practice and apply.

  This is a sure read for both novice and expert -- the savvy business person and the struggling business person, the college student, the bride-to-be and the grandparent -- those of us in all walks of life striving to be masters of our own lives.  Discover the "how to" -- how to personally harness the power of choice regardless of the situation.  This is about fundamental change, this is about getting unstuck when life's chain of events seem to get us mired in muck, and managing our emotions, not our emotions managing us.

  Marilee includes an easy-to-relate-to story plot that enables us to see ourselves in it, transforming both simple and profound practice into new habits of thinking and experiencing life.

  Have you offered yourself, or received, harsh feedback lately?  Enjoy the read and the subsequent change in your life's experience.  Excuse me, while I get back to practicing.

This book is both insightful AND useful. In any job, theres always going to be that team member or boss who you just dread interacting with, or who you feel like you're working against instead of with. This book has helped me really pinpoint their behavior in specific situations, and also offer options on how to handle such a situation. And, more importantly, theres pointers on what I can do moving forward to prevent these situations from arising in the first place. Its a pretty quick, easy read; so easy, In fact, that I even went back and re-read several sections with real gems of advice. Very highly recommended.

My husband and I have both read this book and found it to be an extremely easy read while offering insightful advice. Carrie's style of writing is down-to-earth, vulnerable, and keeps the reader engaged and wanting more. Erv's insight is also very practical and uniquely rounds out Carrie's chapters. The Starr's family mission statement shows the level of depth they began with--and continue with--which carries a tangential meaning to all those with whom they come into contact. Both authors demonstrate not only a commitment to each other and their faith in God, but also to look for hope amid adversity, and to love unconditionally. What a refreshing read to energize and inspire not only those who are looking at marriage in their future, but also to those who are currently married!

The author did a wonderful job intermixing her personal story with practical advice for anyone that is on the path to continuous growth. With self-reflection at the end of each chapter, you are sure to find more self-awareness after reading this book.

Dave and Jon have done it again!  They are insightful writers who blend theology, humor, and practicality into an easy-read.  Their book "Finding Your Way Back to God" was a life-changing book for me, and this one was a fantastic next step.  This book takes you through the "Sorry Cycle" of longing and regret.  You will be able to recognize what your regret is, learn how to release it, and take the steps necessary to let God redeem it.  It's powerful and practical with entertaining story-telling and insight.  I highly recommend it!
