Summary: No Help For Those In Need
Review: As a born-again Christian of over twenty years who is struggling with emotional issues, I found this book useless and stopped reading after the first couple of chapters. I have been struggling with the author's recommended methods of change for over twenty years and they have not allowed me to overcome my covert depression tendencies. To so cavalierly disregard other methods of help as he does in Chapter 1 does nothing to further along the process of helping those truly in need. What he is doing is telling a drowning person to swim harder, rather than throwing them a life preserver. I found the advice similar to that of a misguided individual who told a friend that their child died of cancer because they did not pray hard enough. Yes, I believe in God and Jesus Christ as my savior. However, I do not believe an individual unskilled in alternative therapies, as the author appears to be, should disregard meaningful help that can be used in addition to a solid belief in God and His tender mercies. Any one struggling with covert depression tendencies or trying to make sense of emotional distress will find the author's suggestions simplistic and a retread of what can be heard from the pulpit on Sunday.

Summary: Finally, Someone has gotten it right and stated it clearly
Review: Finally a book that goes straight to the heart of the matter (my heart) and answers the question, How do I change? Absolutely Biblical. You are challenged to come to a place where you no longer make excuses for misbehavior. God's Word is sufficient. Not only to examine my life but to prescribe the process of change, permanent change. I am going to order a dozen for our church. Thank you James MacDonald

Summary: THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE
Review: Forget secular self help books, this book gives you a structured biblical approach to change that really works, I bought the Tape eries from his web site for over $50 because I loved the book so much. The strategies only work if you commit and put faith in God.

Summary: No Help For Those In Need
Review: There are areas about each one of us that need changing - the Bible has set Christ-like traits that all of us struggle to apply to our lives. Yet, if we are honest with ourselves - we desire to change - we desire to be like Him - we know something is missing. This book walks you through how you can change the way God wants us to change, as stated through the Bible. James MacDonald does an excellent job of pointing out wrong ways we go about change and gives a mandate for serious change. I couldn't put this book down - it's honest, biblical, and serious about change, do not buy this book unless you are serious about change. Then, and only then, will this book be profitable to you. May this book be as beneficial to you as it already has for me - I gurantee you that you will not leave this book without some sort of positive change.
