Henry Cloud and John Townsend's <I>How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals About Personal Growth</I>. Starting with the premise that all growth is spiritual growth, the authors then expound on the concept. Cloud postulates that we spend too much time focusing on problems, rather than on root issues. "We are not just to help others 'feel better' or relate better or perform better," writes Cloud. Rather, he says, people must get back into a relationship with God. With this in mind, there's a brief lesson in theology ("the 'Big Picture'"), then a look at topics such as acceptance, forgiveness, obedience, and suffering. The authors have impressive credentials: they are cofounders of Cloud-Townsend Clinic, cohosts of the nationally broadcast <I>New Life Live</I> radio program, and Gold Medallion winners for the bestselling <I>Boundaries</I>. Boxed summaries of important concepts for growth facilitators, charts, counseling anecdotes, and lots of bullet-pointed text make the content accessible. Professional and lay readers will both find biblically based tools here for personal growth and guiding others. <I>--Cindy Crosby</I> 1235067 2001 How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals About Personal Growth total:82|5:40|4:29|3:12|2:1|1:0| 82 354 162 15 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Feb 27 22:39:37 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 22:41:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 06 18:41:53 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 18:42:57 -0700 2009 0 0 true false Mon Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 10:44:25 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 10:47:16 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jun 07 17:03:22 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 17:25:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Mar 25 12:28:52 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 12:29:59 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jul 08 17:24:56 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 09:57:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 09 23:16:18 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 09 23:25:53 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Aug 20 20:10:48 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 20:13:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Jan 04 12:07:25 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 12:10:18 -0800 2008
"We can't grow unless we are sure that we are both known and loved. Some people like us because they don't know us; some know us, and therefore don't like us. Relationship can't occur unless both knowledge and love are present." - (p. 150)]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jun 02 13:36:38 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 22:25:07 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jul 28 16:03:22 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 16:03:22 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Sep 21 16:44:53 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 16:46:37 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Aug 03 00:01:52 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 00:03:56 -0700 2008 Christian biblical psychology.]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jun 07 13:11:02 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 13:11:38 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Apr 01 07:58:22 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 01 07:58:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 16:07:03 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 16:07:03 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Nov 18 07:19:24 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 07:19:24 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 14 08:03:05 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 08:03:05 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 02 13:43:23 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 13:43:23 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Oct 27 23:54:20 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 23:54:20 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=11400
