 Great tools for growth! October 3, 2008
Everybody wants success but many often fail to grow a capacity to handle it. Right choices, introspection,
consistency, and determination contribute to the proper mind-set to steward good success. Being open
to the critics and remaining flexible to new ways to achieve equip from the inside out. The authors are able,
sensitive and committed to nurture the reader. It's a must to read and re-read the contents How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals About Personal Growth for fresh perspective, self-exam, and unlimited growth.

It's been a while since I've read this book and I didn't finish it. However, I remember two things very clearly from this book (and from other of their books). One, they make good sense. Secondly their material is the testimony of what has actually WORKED.
Too many people stuck in "traditional" Christianity will call this book unbiblical. However my experience has been that although these people can quote much scripture, like the Pharisees didn't they too don't understand the heart behind the truth.
Like in Celebrate Recovery (a great Christian program for people who need any kind of healing) these authors don't just have theories. They have experience with people who have experienced REAL healing.
Many Christians who were destroying themselves and others in addictions and other destructive patterns have turned to this kind material after trying "traditional" Christianity.
Although the church still does much good, I believe a very large portion and perhaps even most of church "leadership" and consequently their followers have become just like the Pharisees were: dry, stagnate, judgmental, condemning and useless. That is not how Jesus' ministry or the apostle's ministries were.
This book is not perfect, but I would HIGHLY recommend this book and even other of their books such as "Boundaries" and "Changes That Heal."

I give this book 5 stars. This book took me by surprise. I purchase it to help someone else, but I end up helping myself. I enjoyed it and have recommended it to others.

It has been an excellent study for me. It raises questions I had not thought about and attitudes I didn't realize I could be harboring. It was an excellent study guide for me.

How People Grow is an easily accessible, Biblically-centered, psychologically-deep, and thorough overview of the growth process. I have read through this book twice and refer to it sporadically to refresh my memory on various parts of the growth process and, in my work with college students, urge them to read the book. I have found that living out and sharing its insights has helped me in every area of life, from becoming a more effective evangelist to developing stronger work habits. My main challenge in reading it is owning up to how misguided my understanding of the growth process has been, how I have subsequently misled others, repenting of these mistakes, and seeking to think and live differently in the future. It is a book that speaks to deep issues in a grace-filled but challenging way.
