How People Grow (Abridged): What the Bible Reveals about Personal Growth Audiobook

" In my conquest to understand myself better, the Cloud and Townsend series never failed to bring insight and clarity to the reasons for some of the attributes I have collected. This book is one of the best I've read, comprehensive in its exposition in what the Bible teaches, yet practical in its advice. "

" This book helps one reflect on the basics of Christianity in relation to the chinks in their life. I found Cloud and Townsend's take on 'guilt','forgiveness' and 'sin' quite illuminating and liberating. "

" Very detailed book about unifying Biblical theology and practical counseling to help with growth, not just of people who "need counseling" but everyone. It helped me understand my church's small group strategy a lot better. I don't think I took it all in, and despite what the authors said I think some of it applies only to actual support groups. But, I highly recommend it. "
