The Two Sides of Love

The Secret to Valuing Differences

By: John Trent PhD, Gary Smalley

Narrated by: John Trent

Find the balance between tough love and tender love. In The Two Sides of Love, best-selling authors John Trent and Gary Smalley explain how to find a healthy balance between the protective, consistent, "hard side" of love and the tender, understanding, "soft side" of love.

This is the groundbreaking book that introduced the four "animal" personality types (Lion, Otter, Golden Retriever, and Beaver) and it will show you how to best demonstrate both sides of love in all your relationships - with your spouse, children, and friends. Included in this thoroughly updated edition is a free assessment of your core personality type.

This updated edition is a helpful tool for personal growth, small group studies, and couples' classes.

I am a Lion hear me Meow

I am so glad I am learning this now , I am in my 40’s and plan on living to into my 120’s . It really helps me to understand how to tame my overwhelming lion and beaver tendencies. As a parent of 3 young kids I need all the help I can get, I am gaining some perspective on how to be a much better mom and wife!

Excellent

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! I’ve known of it for a while, but just now reading(listening:)). How timely!!

Wow

I am a 65 year old who has strived to shed major emotional baggage through out my life. This book clearly defined my personalities as well as given me more skills to "step off the path"" of distructive unproductive behaviours. it's never to late to become all Christ wants us to be and experience the joy he wants us to have. Thank you both for this book.

Practical examples that illustrate the main points.

I love books that help me understand myself and others. This book is a great resource.

A great book on personality types

This is a great book teaching different personality types and how to balance them out with strengths and weaknesses.
