Succinct Quality

I finished reading the book in one evening. I like it because the major issues that are plaguing today's world are addressed. The book is funny and witty and the descriptions of problems are not filled with psychobabble. Dr. Smiley got straight to the point and gave Biblical solutions that always honored and glorifed our Lord. I have already used a story from Runaway Lives when I did a little "email counseling" with one of my busy friends.

Must Read !

By discussing the emotional undercurrents of life in such an open and forthright manner, Dr Smiley has given validity to the emotions that we all struggle with at one time or another. This book helps us understand that no one is exempt; and by identifying these issues we can overcome obstacles that may have previously prevented us from dealing with them. Not only does the book identify the emotional undercurrents, it also offers Biblically based answers on how to resolve the problems these undercurrents create.
