Customer Reviews
Psychologically and spiritually sound book.
I enjoyed the way doctor Cloud blended the truths of psychology with the Truth of the Bible. If I have any complaint it's that some of the chapters are way too long! But the content is excellent. I am a Christian counselor of many years, and yet I learned some powerful things which are bringing about significant changes in the way I view myself, others, and my relationship with God. Thank you Dr. Cloud!
Not Very Helpful For Me
Several years ago my wife and I took part in a monthly Changes That Heal study that we did with a few other people from our organization. Dr. Cloud takes the reader step-by-step through the four basic tasks of becoming mature image bearers of God - bonding to others, separating from others, sorting out good and bad in ourselves and others, and becoming an adult. Dr. Cloud not only explains and describes each task, he also identifies the problems that result when we fail to accomplish that task and shows us what changes to make in our lives in order to bring about healing. Although I enjoyed the people I met with in the book study, I really struggled reading this book. I felt the book was rather boring and not that useful for me. Perhaps I am inclined to give most books of this subject matter a poor review since it is my preference to read nonfiction books containing more theology and less psychology. My wife on the other hand found Changes That Heal to be very beneficial, and I can understand why many might like such a book.
