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.

Really good book. Helpful not just in setting boundaries but also dealing with authority and learning to be yourself. This served as a good reminder for some things I've learned and also in learning new things here. Highly recommended it.

I just completed reading this book! I cannot tell you how much this has changed my life, my outlook, my feelings and even lead me into faith. I did not know who God even was until I started to really read in this book and referencing the Bible. For such a long time I didn't feel seen, heard or even cared about. This book helped open all those doors and I started my path to healing. I have recommended it to every member of my blood family (I hope they read it) and I bought both the book and workbook for my boyfriend. ❤️ I feel like I can finally grow into an adult and recognize the talents and path I am supposed to be on. 10/10. Have and will continue to recommend. Thank you so much for this book. 💗

This book as changed my life

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012

I second Josh McDowell's comment on the cover that this book has changed my life more than any other besides the Bible. I am now reading through it a second time with my family. I wish I had read this book twenty years ago.

It has sections that discuss the balance of grace and truth, bonding, boundaries, good and bad, and being a mature adult. It has been used by the Lord to bring true freedom in my life, in which I am pursuing God out of love, not compulsion. There is much truth presented, but it is presented in love and brings hope.

I have a notebook with things I am learning from 'Changes that Heal' from which comes the following: It confirmed my need for genuine relationships with other people - which I knew at some level before, but understand more fully now. It helped me identify healthy relationships and those which are not. Knowing what we are responsible for and what we are not is also very freeing. I feel empowered to be who I am without apology but also to recognize my weaknesses (without shame) and how to get better. I am still processing how we tend to separate good and bad in us and others and how that affects us, which has been key for me. 'Changes that Heal' also helped me see how adult relationships are intended to work and how feeling 'one up' or 'one down' to other adults (including parents and adult children) affects our relationships. It helped me understand the stages children go through and appreciate why teen years can be very difficult and their striving for independence. Dr Cloud also discusses in each section what happens when things go wrong, giving real examples of people affected and how they got better.

I have purchased 10 copies of this book for friends and recommend it without reservation.
