Customer Reviews

A must read!

As a therapist, I have recommended this book to hundreds of people over the last 10 years. I usually order several at once and give them as gifts. No bookshelf should be without this one. Evan's work is a wonderful example of healing from trauma and finding healthy ways to tear the wall down in order to heal.

life changing

I bought this book for me many years ago. I loved it. My teen aged son also picked it up and read it. I did not realize what an impact it had on him at the time. He later took over "ownership" of the book. Then it was lost in moving. He still talked about the different stones and what they mean. It made a difference in the life of a teenager. You can't do much better than that....it is life changing.

A Life-Changing Read

I found this wonderful paperback in a little used bookstore about five years ago. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I read the entire book right there and found that I had tears in my eyes as I was reading. I have read it many times since that day. The simplicity and the power are so evident that you immediately think about your own walls. We all have them. I know I did for sure. I knew that day at the bookstore that this humble book had changed my life and I find myself thinking about what I had read and I know that I am a much more tolerant person because of it. Thank You Gloria Jay Evans!

Reading this book can be a life changing experience

A powerful parable on how, and why we build defensive walls around ourselves. In a light, easy to read manner, the author shows us how a Higher Power can help us to remove those walls, and then to reach out to others.

Excellent book about relationships between people

The barriers we build that impede our enjoyment of life. How the barriers come to exist, & how a relationship with God can assist in removing those barriers. A short, easy read on a complex subject.
