Customer Reviews

Yoo-hoo, I'm up here, now a BALCONY PERSON !!!

After reading this book, I have loaned it out to many people. Many seem to be touched by this book. It made me aware of how I can affect others with my attitude and my encouragement. It is a short, simple book that has impacted my life. I believe that reading this book is the start of changing one's life. But, one also has to make that "choice" to be a balcony person vs. a basement person.

Balcony People

I found the book to be suprisingly helpful and interesting. I would recommend it to anyone. It hope to view relationships in a different light and ask myself if I am a evaluator or an affirmer. The book is an easy read but the author does a good job of making some effective points.

wonderful gift book

I had this book on my shelf a few years before I read it. However, once I opened it and soaked in the pages, I saw all my relationships differently. This is a great gift book for parents,children,husbands, co-workers, and those in the ministry. The concept is so simple. Harsh words can do permanent damage while encouraging words will lift someone's spirit forever! Read it and give it!

Best advice I've received in years. Absolutely outstanding!

Concise advice on how to change from being a negative force on others to becoming a builder of souls. Received this book from my mother-in-law. Best thing she has shared with me since I married her son. I plan to share this book with as many people as I can. Highly recommended reading for parents, and for sharing with your children. Special graduation gift when you add your own inscription. Don't miss this one.

Understanding the Nature of God's Love.

Excellent book that helped me to become an encourager to other people. Explains the difference between evaluators(basement people) and encouragers(balcony people). Explains how to use the power of God's love to identify and heal emotional damage caused by critical people in yourself and how to help others suffering the same damage. Shows how to identify the encouragers in your life(and in scripture) and gives examples on how you can be in someone elses "balcony". I read this book once a year to help me in my ongoing quest to become a more compassionate and caring person. A beautifully written guide that carries you into the loving arms of God.
