Using the book and workbook for a support-group ministry. The participants love it! The themes are very applicable and have generated much good discussion!

Changes That Heal was one of the hardest books I ever went through but the most effective for the healing I needed. This book was recommended to me for the preparation of my life's testimony and Missions Statement by a group, I was willingly but ultimately accountable to but the meer fact that I was able to go through this with the Workbook on my own was what perpelled me to continue with the grueling task of facing the truth about myself. The freedom I have experienced from the step by step explaination to ccomplish the tasks toward becoming an adult has become evident especially to my circle of family and friends. When I give my Testimony, I recommend this book and in the future plan to make an investment and have it available on my "Borb table" for purchase.

This is a great practical intro into Christian Developmental Psychology! I look trying to figure out what makes myself and others “tick.” It is a great foundation to learning how were are created, the building blocks we need to be mature in our faith, as well as the environment in which God teaches us (Grace – Truth – Time).

I have suffered through severe depression for the past year due to several losses in my life including being fired from my church. This book along with several others was given to me by a pastoral counselor friend of mine and gave me insight and help in rebuilding my life and self-esteem. One thing that Cloud mentioned is that the result of mean-spirited people is like being run over by a truck and surviving. The victim has to put that aside and begin rehabilitation to recover. His insight and scriptural citations helped me to move from the position of victim and whining about what happened to me to gradually move into a position of victory. I am re-reading the book again and finding nuggets of gold that I didn't find before.

A truly life-changing and life-affirming book. It guides you through 4 of the most basic aspects of life that can catch up believers and keep them from becoming everything that God desires for them. I particularly was helped by the section of Dealing with Good and Bad. Though I had always understood grace on an intellectual level and even felt that I was good at giving grace to others, it was only after reading Changes that Heal that I understood how God intended grace for me as well, and learned how to accept it.
