Awesome book...

don't let the narrator turn you off, great advice on love and loving! Learned a great deal on the right way to love and let go.

I got so much out if this book!

The concepts in this book are not widely known or taught in any church I've been to. It contains instructions on setting limits and how to be loving while growing into a person who protects the good.

Great content if you can get past the narrator

The narrator, while having a strong voice, gives the "ick" feeling when he uses the "S" sound. This was difficult for me to overcome, as I would turn it off or walk away from the program fairly often. I do enjoy Dr. Townsend's books, but the narrator , I could definitely do without.

Great Principles! Rough Narration.

Essential viewpoints that I wish I'd been aware of years ago. Emphasis on what is real and truly works is what brings value. Frequent stories gave time and context for the points to sink in.

The narration voice quality was good but the performance was tedious. Particularly the cadence. Was repetively rythemic like wind battering a shutter night and day. Wishing I'd read the book instead of listening to it.

Great mix of information, nutrition and recipes. Very helpful resource. I appreciated the international recipes.
