A "Must Read" for People Interested in Personal Growth

OK, another book with a catchy title and a subtitle offering quite a promise: "5 Questions that will change your life." But I was hooked. Having now completed the book and looked back through it several times, I can tell you that I've not been disappointed. Dr. Koch has delivered on her promise! As a parent of four young adults, a grandparent, and pastor, I read this volume often wondering aloud, "Where was Dr. Koch and this book thirty years ago? I could have really used her wise insights and very practical suggestions in both my personal and professional life over the years." I heartily commend this work. You will not read through it and be unaffected. It will definitely challenge your personal growth in significant areas of your life.

Kathy's mom recommends it!

When I sent my children off to elementary school (a few years ago) I told them to "think and listen." Now, my daughter, Kathy has written this book with an entirely new and better concept for listening and learning. My friends (now grandparents) wish we had her message a generation ago. I, obviously, highly recommend this book! -Kathy's Mom

Just what I needed

What a book! I was searching for something in my life not relly knowing what. I found "Finding Authentic Hope & Wholeness by Dr. Kathy Koch.This sounded like something I could use so read it. What an impact. The section on core needs - competence, purpose, belonging, identity, and security really reached out to what I was looking for. The book gave some great life skills such as how to make decisions, how to love, how to choose, make and keep friends, how to change and how to forgive. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is searching for something more in their lives. Timmie Mosley

How I found hope and wholeness

Awesome book for anyone who is dealing with a difficult relationship, thought-process or habit pattern, this book provides real, practical help. While reading, I was able to work through a difficult relationship that has been a source of deep pain for five years. Finding Authentic Hope and Wholeness helped me work through what was my responsibility and what needed to be left behind as "toxic" baggage. While there has been no change in the relationship itself, the way I view it and myself has been radically changed in a positive, healing way. It has also helped me as I interact with my almost-teenage son.
