Title: I enjoyed this book
Review: I am a big fan of the Cloud/Townsend books and pretty much buy one sight unseen, as I did this one. While for me it is not quite at the level of How People Grow it was still very helpful.For these authors, relationships with other people are key to growth. In How People Grow the author describes feeling like it was God's "plan B" to have people help him--that God really should do it directly and he was getting 2nd best. He later came to realize that people are God's "plan A". So I don't think it is a case of "tell lots of people about your problem", but rather an acknowledgement that the Body of Christ is called that for a reason: that God uses His people as vehicles for His love.Anyway, that is just one part of this book. In general I found it very useful to have all the principles of growth broken down in this way and then have applications to specific life situations in the 2nd half of the book. These authors are very practical, which I like.
Is the review positive or negative?
