I got so much out if this book!

The concepts in this book are not widely known or taught in any church I've been to. It contains instructions on setting limits and how to be loving while growing into a person who protects the good.

Awesome book...

don't let the narrator turn you off, great advice on love and loving! Learned a great deal on the right way to love and let go.

Very insightful

Contains a lot of useful information about how to love and to improve your relationships with other people. It really managed to show me things about human behavior I had not considered.

My only minor issue is that many things are explained in kind of a "list" format which leads me to wonder if I may have been better off getting the physical book. However this can be solved by simply taking notes which is what I did. Perhaps they should include a pdf of this lists with this book.

Good Read - Insightful

While it started out slow, I really enjoyed the material, message and insightful references Loving People provided. It was a recommendation from my daughter which I’m very grateful for because I likely would not have discovered it on my own. I’ve already begun to leverage it to help grow/enhance my relationship with my spouse. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Best!! GH
