Everybody should read this book at least once.

The narrator is great, he seems to be very passionate in his work and possibly the subject as well.
I have read lots of Gary Chapman books, this one is right up there with many other books he has written.
Thank you Dr. chapman, I know this book will help me with what I have to do, I am glad I read it first.

A great book

a true book that helps your soul and spirit to heal a must read

If I read this 5 yrs ago, things would be different

Coming from a guy who says”it’s the past….it’s life….and said sorry without truly understanding why….
This book is priceless. Recommend reading even when things are good

An intense look at Forgiveness

I thought I knew it all but I learned so much. We both need this book.

Healing Through Forgiveness

I have several of Gary's books,, I used the premixed in my womens empowerment coaching. A 3 year relationship with a man I loved, but he struggled to love himself caused an interesting complexity. I'm a stand up humble woman, who leads and directs others through the power of Christ. My partner struggled with my conviction to Christ, my life mission and dedication to grow. Long story short, he made choices and went to prison for 10 months. within the first 3 months he read the book, "When Sorry isnt Enough". This book along with Bible study started his transformation... which I pray holds true. Thank you Gary, I appreciate your beautiful translations, which I believe come from God.

Good stuff

I wish I had learned this stuff when I was younger... I'm 26, but this would have been helpful at 16....

This book is awesome!

I underestimated this book. I am so glad I read it. Now I have a better understanding that like love languages there are different ways to apologize that are more effective and the importance of apologies. Awesome work

Apologies

Wow, everyone can & should learn how to apologize from listening to this audio book. good explanation. A must listen!

Great book! I have been able to put a lot of things to rest because of this book. I am learning the art of forgiveness.

I loved listening to this book. I have for years been raised to not hear “I’m sorry” or heard excuses as to why I made a situation worse. My own husband hasn’t ever apologized in my apology language. A couple of nights ago, I put the book to the test and apologized to him for the hurtful things I’ve said and done over the years that hurt his self-esteem and worth as a man. I used a similar script in the book and truly sat in my apology with true remorse and the want and need to fix an unhealthy cycle. It worked and I am going to buy a physical copy of the book so my husband and I can go through it together as a couple, hoping to heal past traumas. I hadn’t forgiven myself for some things in my past that cost me my job and reputation until hearing the last few chapters on “forgiving yourself”. I had been held captive by my feeling of shame and self-hatred for my mistakes. I have forgiven myself and have asked God to forgive me as well again. This book is life changing. Please listen to it with an open mind and open heart.
