A while back I read a brief overview of this book that Stanley had included in a Catalyst newsletter. I quickly realized this was a book that I wanted and needed to read so I jumped at the opportunity to review this book. And since I've attended North Point Community Church on and off over the last decade, I knew this book will be filled with hard truths and practical, Biblical advice for how to make positive changes.
The book addresses what Stanley suggests are the four main enemies of the heart: guilt, anger, greed and jealousy. He explores each of these emotional forces that can lead to a debt/debtor relationships that is destructive. He then offers practical wisdom for how to break free and have healthier relationships. Readers also have access to a discussion guide that is helpful for processing the difficult truths within this book, either individually or with a group.
I found this to be a great read filled with challenging words. It's written in a very conversational, almost sermon-like way that is easy to follow yet not preachy. And it's a good balance of scripture and practical advice and application.
*I received this book free from Multnomah Books as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own*
