It finally all made sense

For years I have struggled with a past I couldn't outrun, and a sense of shame and guilt that crippled me. I got this book from someone close to me, and read it through again and again. Understanding not only where I have been wounded, and why I live the way I do (even when I truly don't want to) but also realizing where I was passing that on to my kids was eye-opening. The strategies, wisdom and understanding offered in Olive Shoots has been incredibly helpful-especially since as Christians, we often feel like we have to paint a rosier picture of life at home than it really is. I'm looking forward to reading Visser's next book-due out, I think, some time this Christmas.

No More Disfunction!

This was actually the 2nd time I have purchased this book. The first was lost in a move and it is deinately a must-have item! It tells about how to spot disfunction, how to overcome it and how to break the cycle with your own children, all within a relationship with Christ. I HIGHLY recommend this book!
