Customer Reviews

This book is a must have to heal your past!

My counselor recomended this book to me to help me heal my past of growing up in a dysfunctional family. It has been a life saver!! I have read many books and not one of them has helped me as much as this one!! I feel as if this book was wrote especially for me. It was written beautifully and with the grace of God I know it can help you too! I highly recommend this book!

Awesome book!

Awesome book...this book has changed my life. God has used this book as a tool to help me learn about my feelings of my past and how it affects me today. I have learned that I don't need to be perfect, only God is and that the things that happened in my past don't have to make me who I am today. The author recommends doing this book in a group setting so that you have the support of each other when working through very difficult issues. However, I had chose to go through it on my own relying on God to teach me how to change and give me the courage I needed. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling with their past and would like to have a more joyful life. It is possible!

Making Peace with Your Past

I have had the privilege of participating in a support group where this book was used, and now have facilitated three other groups. I plan to continue to facilitate these groups using Tim Sledge's Making Peace with Your Past, because I have found nothing on dysfuntional families so insightful and penetrating as this study. Tim Sledge has allowed God to make good of evil in his life, by using his own dysfunctional family experiences to create a life changing study. No matter what you have read before or how much counseling you may have had, you will gain tremendous insight from this study. I have experienced this personaly and have witnessed many others' lives changed by God through this book.

Great insight into dysfunctional family life

This author is right on target. Although I read through the Bible first and God healed me through his word, Tim Sledge beautifully and methodically walks you through the process of biblical/psychological healing of wounds from a dysfunctinal family life. A wonderful tool to give a needy friend or relative or to guide you in helping others.

This workbook is truely annointed by God.

This is a self-help workbook like nothing I have ever read before. Through this book, you will discover what a dysfuntional family is and how living in that family has effected your adult life. You will also discover how God can heal you and change your life forever. The daily readings, meditations and exercises are easy to understand and markedly profound. Combine this workbook with a weekly support group and you will be amazed at the power of God's healing in your life.The author, a product of a dysfuntional family himslef, has great insight into this subject and is definately lead by God.
