 SUCH DISAPPOINTMENTJun 27, 2009
I was completely dissatisfied with this person. First, I was charged on my credit card for the book I purchased, and it has been paid for, and yet the person that I had the book sent to never received it. I would NOT recommend buying from this person unless you just want to throw money away and not receive the merchandise. I also tried several times to contact her by e-mail and NEVER even received a response. I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM ORDERING FROM HER.

Great readApr 01, 2009
I greatly enjoyed reading this book! It really helped me to get my focus back on God. It also very easy to follow!
Very Inspiring & Thought ProvokingMar 21, 2009
I started reading this book, and had a very difficult time setting it down. I underlined many areas, and probably could have underlined the entire book! I was amazed at how each section seem to apply to my life and my husband's. I'm looking forward to reading another book by Rick Warren. I was told to read The Purpose of Christmas by Rick Warren. If you are looking for some direction, or just want to improve your life and the ones around you, this is a wonderful book!
The source of self help power uncoveredDec 24, 2008
This is by far the best book I read about the fruit of the Holy Spirit. My preference of it certainly comes from my agreement with the author's perspective that no matter how many self help book you read, without God's power to practice, it's all useless. In short, well written and very helpful. Highly recommended even for those who had read tons of spiritual and self help books before.
p.s. Below please find some of my favorite passages for your reference.
Anytime you resent someone, you give that person a piece of your heart, a piece of your attention, a piece of your mind. Do you want that person to take that? No. So take it back by forgiving. pg53
Stop fantasizing about greener grass somewhere else. The truth is that the grass is not on the other side of the fence; the grass is greener wherever you water it! pg62
"Be still, and know that I am God." Ps.46.10 was written during the time of Hezekiah. Israel was under attack of Assyria. Enemy soliders had surrounded Jerusalem, and the Israelites were uptight. They knew they were going to get whooped, so they prayed this prayer. Five minutes before noon, God smote the Assyrians with a plague, and 185,000 of them died. pg90
Wisdom is seeing life from God's point of view, getting God's perspective on a situation. pg108
Many times when someone is experiencing a crisis, ....Actually you dont have to say anything. Just being there is an expression of kindness. Sometimes a touch on the shoulder, a tear, a pat on the back, or a grasp of the hand is all a hurting person needs. pg126
"Why are you so nice to him when he's so unfriendly to you?" "Because I dont want him to decide how I'm going to react." That is gentleness. That is strength under control - choosing the way to respond to people. That is choosing to be an actor rather than a reactor. pg190
Evangelism is just one beggar telling another where to find bread. - D. T. Niles pg192
Self control brings with it the good feeling of competency. Like a finely tuned precision automobile, your life stays on course with the slightest touch of steering. The results of self control are confidence and an inner sence of security. pg196
If you want to develop self control, learn to depend on Christ's power to help you. Galatians 5:16 says, "Let the spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature." pg211
