Summary: OUTSTANDING!
Review: Where does BACKUS come up with all this wisdom? This book helps the reader to identify the source and causes of their unpleasant emotions, and relationships. Then, he teaches the reader how to identify the lies s/he been believing, and by replacing them with the truth, the cause is changed, effectively changing the affect. (One ends up with more positive emotions, permanently!) This book also teaches the reader how to avoid being miserable in relationships, explaining how putting others under the law, The Gospel of Yourself, which operates over and above the "The Written expectations of the Gospel of Christ", (This book is written from a Christian religious perspective but is an excellent tool for ANYONE), is guaranteed to make you miserable. Backus goes on to explain how this attitute, putting others under the law which operates over and above the Gospel, makes others miserable too, and that, by not knowing that, you won't even understand why. This is a paraphrase of only ONE of the MULTITUDES of lies that people in the world believe, that keeps them in a perpetually miserable state. Would you like to stop being miserable? Then, please, get yourself this book. (Or you may invest in Truth Talk, also by Backus. It helps the reader dismember the lies s/he believes both in dealing with oneself, and in relationships.) This book in an absolutely excellent work. I feel it ought to be required reading for everyone.

Summary: Life Changing
Review: Wow! I am blown away by this book. I received this book as a gift and had never heard of either author before. I could identify with so much of what the author's shared and was able for the first time, to recognize a lot of misbeliefs in my life. Some of them I knew about, but a lot of them, I didn't. This book is biblically based and Christ centered. It doesn't promise easy answers or a quick fix. The suggestions made by the authors to overcome misbeliefs are helpful, practical and easy to apply. This book has a life changing message. This is a book that definitely needs to be read more than once. I thank God so much for this book.
