This is one of the most often read books in my collection. I come back to it again and again when life gets tough, especially with relationships that are difficult. It helps me get things back in perspective and recognize the joys in the midst of struggles. Gary Smalley shares real life stories to illustrate his points and these are things most people can relate to. He gives concrete suggestions for ways to move from negative to positive attitudes and emotions. Methods are soundly based on Scripture and Christian principles. ( )
