Our Mothers, Ourselves

By: Henry Cloud, John Townsend

Narrated by: Henry Cloud

In Our Mothers, Ourselves, Henry Cloud and John Townsend show how understanding how our mothers have profoundly influenced our lives can set us on a path toward wholeness and growth.

No one has influenced the person you are today like your mother. The way she handled your needs as a child has shaped your worldview, your relationships, your marriage, your career, your self-image - your life. Our Mothers, Ourselves can help you identify areas that need reshaping, to make positive choices for personal change, and to establish a mature relationship with Mom today.

You'll learn how your mom affected you as a child and may still be affecting you today. Our Mothers, Ourselves is a biblical, realistic, and empowering route to wholeness and growth, to deeper and more satisfying bonds with your family, friends, and spouse - and to a new, healthier way of relating to your mother.

worth listening to

I really needed to hear this book. It has opened my mind to have more grace for my mom. I have learned how to forgive my mom God's way. And how to move forward in our relationship.

Good information!

This would be useful to nearly anyone who has/had a mom. I plan to share it.

Very good!

This is a great book, and it's very eye opening. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Great resource.

Another book by these 2 that most women should probably read. Before seeking a counselor, read this first.

Powerful

Very easy to listen too. This book is full of practical advise while not condoning mothers not the children.
