my dad's church is supporting "40 days of love" a month-long program in how to improve your relationships and connect with love in your life. as part of the course, they are selling these books as a companion piece to the 4 weekly services that encompass the program. i bought the book and have been reading a chapter every night as designated. let me start by saying that this book is not a religious text but a self-help workbook and as such i believe it's a good one. regardless of whether or not...more

HAPPY EASTER!!!!
I finished this book yesterday. I went on a 40 day fast and every day I read one chapter. It was an AMAZING journey.
The concepts will stay with me for the rest of my life. I feel transformed, renewed. Don't miss this adventure.
During this process, I confessed so many things I didn't even know were sins. I gave forgiveness in places where I didn't even know I was holding unforgiveness. I saw people, relationships, life in a whole new light.
I kept a journal throughout the last...more

For anyone involved in Christian education, small group or cell group study, or just personal self-help in Christian growth and maturity, I would highly recommend this book!! Tom Hollady has written a wonderful guide to relationship building. But be warned! The reader is continually invited in each chapter to take honest reflection of themselves in an effort to bring healing and reconciliation to bruised, broken relationships, whether it's with a spouse, co-worker, parent, child, or boss.
This book was the best for me personally of the three devotional books(The Purpose Driven Life and Better Together were the first two) that our church has read and discussed in small groups. It challenged me to look at my own way of relating to God and others and to make a choice with each chapter to live more like Jesus whose example of how to love, communicate, forgive, not judge others, serve, and live with humility serves as God's standard for each of us. Of the 3 books I've read in this ser...more
This was a well written book about Relationship Principles that Jesus taught. Starting with the two greatest commandments, Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as your self. This book also talks about the Golden Rule. I like how this author wrote about these tough topics in any relationship. I believe it will be a BIG challenge to follow through with, but I know relationships are worth the sacrifice of my own pride, selfi...more
Loved the day to day exercises. Learned, and am still trying to put into practice, how to better communicate with my daughters. Also learned its best to be humble, and try to be kind to others without always expecting anything in return. Has helped me become a more frequent volunteer.
This book was so relevant and applicable. Each day I read a new chapter, I could relate it to a situation with a friend/coworker/relative I was presently dealing with in my life. I feel I should read this book every day of my life.
It will change how you relate to people and your view on relationships. You should read it with a friend so you can changes thoughts and feelings about every challenge or verse you come across.

Awesome book on love and relationships. We led a small group at our church so we listened to the video tape message and had the workbook to go with it. It was life changing!
I kind of felt like I needed to have some troubled relationships to really apply this book to my life, but it was an easy read and I did take some good things from it.
Read for our Lenten study at church. Thought provoking. Liked the short chapter and the suggestions for how to put the principles in to action.

An excellent book for all of us who think "It would be so much easier to be a Christian, if other Christians would behave!" Best read in small group.
I feel that I've grown so much in reading this with my church. Highly recommended!

GREAT BOOK !
So far I find this book to be amazing. I would recommend this to everyone. I thought I knew how to communicate well... I have found out in past 8 months I do not! :)
This book and Rick Warren videos on the 40 day to better relationships is worth investing in.
I now am learning healthy ways to communicate with friends and family.
(not sure that videos are called?)

I read this as a course with our church and family. I found it interesting, it's a easy hand book some may find it to simple, I feel this was intentional so all could participate.
Read this with my Bible study. I like how the Rick Warren family of books is very grounded in practical application, and also studying each one takes you on a 40-day journey. Thanks to that structure, I was able to build up a memory bank of the 40 verses by the time I was done.
Sort of like the Purpose-Driven Life, 40 days to focus on loving God and loving other people. Very simple, a little cheesy, but good reminders all.
Great daily devotional on the principles of love, humility and relationships. Short readings for 40 days.
Loving it...so much to think about. This is a book
worth reading again and again. So much to glean.

A great book. It clearly explains what it takes to love as Jesus loves.
Our whole church is reading this during our 40 days of love.
Good book would be great in a study group.
Will read it over and over. <3
