Interesting observation - Don't be fooled.

This is the SAME book as The Lies We Believe. I ordered both books with the belief that they were different. Upon reciept of both books, I found out that they are identical in content. Only the titles and the covers are different. I could have saved myself some money if the descriptions had mentioned that the content was identical.

Sharing this book

I read this book several years ago and after having a rather indepth conversation with a friend decided I wanted to purchase a copy as a gift for them. I had some trouble finding a new or like new copy since it is out of print but it was worth the hunt. I loved the book when I read it and refer back to it frequently. The friend I sent this copy to says they are addicted to it. We are both sorry that this book is no longer in print as it makes it difficult to share with others that might also really enjoy it. Neither one of us is willing to pass our copy on for fear of not getting it back. It would have to be a very good friend.

Surprisingly Helpful

Many books that address human need are a little helpful, or apply a little bit. This book by Dr. Thurman is exceptional in its scope of usefulness. It is very easy to read and straight forward with its insights, one does not have to guess the conclusion that the author wishes you to find. Each point is illustrated with a story from the doctors practice. This is very helpful is seeing how to apply that chapter. The book is soothing to the soul of those with a damaged heart. It is also a wonderful resource for those wishing to be helpful to others with a damaged heart. Many thanks to the good doctor,
