Worth a read!!!

This book has helped me so much with my journey with the lord! It builds on your foundation of belief in our lovely God amen.

Dr Clouds use of the Bible for living our best lives. Bible as our guide

Loved the message of our God and Jesus in the book! The Bible as a guide for our lives. The psychology of the Bible.

Healing

Franz Kafka ~ “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.” The only book that has been like an axe to me is Boundaries - I needed the axe to break the frozen sea. It’s probably the book that’s had the single biggest impact on me ever. Henry’s new book and his latest work has melted the ice for me. For any Christian who’s experienced hurt from the church and outside church from people who don’t understand suffering, what Henry has gone through will give you encouragement to keep going with boundaries. It’s not going to be easy, but Henry’s story will give you strength to carry on. For me this book will be one of those I listen to regularly. I’m already carrying out some small steps and noticing a difference. The last time I told someone about Jesus I was 13 and it did not go down well for me. So for now I’ll pass this book on to people as a testimony because my journey is still ongoing - I’m using this as a 2nd rebirth. But this book is not just for telling people about Jesus, it’s for people who’ve been hurt by things done in His name that never came from Him in the first place. This will heal you and encourage you and confirm your hurts are real when no one else did! It will also help others to be more empathetic to suffering of others and false Christian teachings. Thanks Henry!

I really enjoyed hearing biography & faith journey.

I absolutely loved everything about this book. Very practical and insightful. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to get to know a Higher Power.

Dr Cloud being vulnerable in places

Great book - explaining to reader Dr Cloud’s personal journey to faith and his life etc

Psychology and the Bible agree

The author’s knowledge of the Bible and psychology is very impressive and encouraging. We are created by a God that loves us so much that he gives us the right and the will to choose him.

real life and science supports the truth!

I loved the entire journey with this author: the reminders that those everyday encounters with God in my life are REAL and a way to begin to engage in meaningful dialogue with others about the truth!
Finally I also understand why I continue to struggle with certain matters, and may require a deeper confrontation of the source!

how the Bible offers healing to psychological conditions

I liked his courage to share his beliefs with others . I liked the calm approach. I liked the idea of God as outside energy and intelligence.

Jesus is the real real truth!

Wonderful book. I learned much about God and therapy! I really recommend it to all who are searching.

Wonderful story

I really enjoyed this book, I can relate to a lot of the thoughts and feelings Dr. Cloud talks about. Gave me some different approaches to speaking with my friend about Christ. This book was referred to me by a friend and now I will look for more of Dr. Cloud’s publications.
