Excellent read

This book arrived in excellent condition and in a timely manner. This book certainly ministers to the soul of anyone who reads it.

John Townsend's book helped me come out of hiding

Every person has a desire for intimacy. Sometimes this desire is overriden by fear. The disabling behavior I learned as a child and continued through my adult life has been identified and replaced with constructive behavior. "Hiding from Love" was key in this transformation. My fear has been replaced with empathy and a real capacity for giving and receiving love. I admire every book that comes from the "Minerith-Meier Clinics", or as they are now called, "New Life Live".

Hiding From Love: How to Change the Withdrawal Patterns That

Great book. This book changed my life and it will truly change yours as well. It teaches why we withdrawal within ourselves. It helps us to understand why we do and what we can do about it. Outside influences, home life growing up, our self esteem; these are all factors that contribute to why we do the things we do. This book will help you get in touch with yourself much more than you ever thought possible. You will never be the same again after reading this book. I recommend it as well as buy it for others. Enjoy!
