5 stars (Fantastic and useful book -- must have for all folks) - This book is very useful, if you open your mind enough to take it to hear. A friend recommended it to me, and I'm recommending it to my brother, exboyfriends, best girlfriends, and probably a few others I care about. It is life changing. 5 stars (Develop true self esteem by loving every part of ourselves.) - By using the principles in this book, I am more authentic, happy and have more confidence and self love. This book truly changed my life. When we accept everything about ourselves and stop trying to hide the parts we find negative, we open the door to a more loving, peaceful and joyful life. 5 stars (Easy-to-read Treatment of a Universal Struggle) - Debbie Ford has a powerhouse of a book here, addressing a dilemma with which all of us struggle.

While her theology and her therapeutic approach may not be as refined as some people would desire, the point of her work strikes home in the hearts of her readers. The goal she presents is not permissiveness, but wholeness and healing. This title is not written from a theological or a psychological viewpoint.
