Publisher's summary

A down-to-earth plan to help us recover from the wounds of the past and grow more and more into the image of God.

Many of us struggle with anxiety, loneliness, and feelings of inadequacy. We know that God created us in his image, but how can we be loving when we feel burned out? How can we be free when we struggle with addiction? Will we ever enjoy the complete healing God promises?

Combining his professional expertise and personal experience, renowned psychologist Dr. Henry Cloud guides us through four basic ways to become joy-filled, mature followers of Christ:

• Connect more deeply with others
• Separate from others in healthy ways
• Understand the good and the bad in ourselves and others
• Grow into greater emotional and spiritual maturity

With fascinating case studies and helpful techniques we can start using immediately, Changes That Heal reminds us that God promises to complete his good work in us.

Workbook and Spanish edition also available.

Life-Changing material!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have recommended this book to several people, who like me, were living in a perpetual cycle that would always lead us back to the same miserable spot of not quite achieving the contentment we had always longed for. When I decided to take my life off of what I call "auto-pilot," I first read Drs. Cloud and Townsend's book "Boundaries," which I had on my shelf for years. After reading it from cover to cover I realized I needed help to figure out WHY I had such a hard time with boundaries. Because I liked the style in which "Boundaries" was written, I looked Cloud and Townsend up on Audible and found this book. It was exactly what I needed to figure out where I have gone off track in my life and how to get back on track. "Changes That Heal" indeed continues to heal me, as I listen to it repeatedly, as well as a few other books that help me stay in a healthy mindset, reminding me of who I REALLY am, and how to express myself to those around with whom I struggle communicating. The narrator can over-dramatize the material at times, but don't let that deter you from the message that is being conveyed. I have since bought other Audible books by Dr. Cloud and have completely enjoyed the ones he has narrated himself.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Changes That Heal?

It never ceases to amaze me how I can listen to a chapter and get something new out of it each time.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Dick Fredricks?

He is not the worst narrator, though I feel he would occasionally over-dramatize the content of the book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh, cry, and everything in between. Ultimately it helped me to really evaluate the things in my life that I felt were not working, and gave me solutions on how to change those things.

Any additional comments?

I would pretty much buy any book that Dr. Cloud writes. He has a firm grasp of the human psyche and how it relates to those around us.

love it!

The book is broke down in a way that is easy to understand and apply to one's life. The personal stories create a bridge to recognizing one's own patterns.

Narrator

The narrator is clear but very monotoned. I could only listen for 15-20 at a time tops. Great book.

This book free me from oppression from years of unself worth taught me to be me!

good book but bad narration

hard to listen because the voice was a bit distracting. I think I would've preferred the tone to be a bit more subdued especially when reading the verses.
