Healing

Revisado: 06-19-24

Franz Kafka ~ “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.” The only book that has been like an axe to me is Boundaries - I needed the axe to break the frozen sea. It’s probably the book that’s had the single biggest impact on me ever. Henry’s new book and his latest work has melted the ice for me. For any Christian who’s experienced hurt from the church and outside church from people who don’t understand suffering, what Henry has gone through will give you encouragement to keep going with boundaries. It’s not going to be easy, but Henry’s story will give you strength to carry on. For me this book will be one of those I listen to regularly. I’m already carrying out some small steps and noticing a difference. The last time I told someone about Jesus I was 13 and it did not go down well for me. So for now I’ll pass this book on to people as a testimony because my journey is still ongoing - I’m using this as a 2nd rebirth. But this book is not just for telling people about Jesus, it’s for people who’ve been hurt by things done in His name that never came from Him in the first place. This will heal you and encourage you and confirm your hurts are real when no one else did! It will also help others to be more empathetic to suffering of others and false Christian teachings. Thanks Henry!

Grace

Revisado: 09-13-23

I’m a Jacob and needed to hear this message. It was short and sweet - that’s great because I can listen to it over and over again to let it sink in. My name means victory for the people - I hope God keeps it that way to show others they can have victory in spite of difficulties because of Him.

Thank you

I am a Christian. I cannot stand Paul. God can use broken people to accomplish good, but I cringe when I read anything written by Paul. I cannot believe that no Christian has addressed this from the pulpit what a negative, manipulative person Paul was.

Great... until they said stay with an abuser

Revisado: 07-11-23

Oh boy. Started off so well, then when he said he finds it more compassionate for a woman to stay with an abusive man, I stopped listening. I'm starting to stray more and more away from Christians. I feel ill at this. Just go to Townsend and Cloud. They are the only Christians who seem to have their head screwed on properly.

Returned - evangelical, western world performance

Revisado: 07-11-23

I cannot stomach western performance based extraverted material any longer. I'm heading back to Shakespeare, he has all the answers. Great performance, but just not for me.

Depression

Revisado: 01-10-23

Struggled with exec function my whole life due to major depression. This advice makes so much sense! It’s an approach that is needed and long overdue for the non neurotypical.

Terrible narrator

Revisado: 12-21-22

The narration is awful. Can’t listen to the book and hope I can return it. Who pronounces ‘way’ as ‘wuuuuyyyy’? Not me!!! Sounds so pretentious

I think this helps people who think in black and white

Very good. I’ve struggled with yo yo dieting for most of my adult life. I’m hoping that I’ll finally be free from the madness after applying these principals. The first day I tried it I had a terrible reaction - like a terror of losing control. The control demon really revealed itself, and has convinced me that I really have deep seated root beliefs about good and bad food. I’m already feeling better after seeing the demon for what is is. It was a knee jerk reaction to restricting for decades - and now it has lost its power over me since I see it for what it is. That was a metaphor for me that I hope will stick!

Bob… thank you. There are so many bits of wisdom here. I’m going to listen to this over and over I’m sure for the rest of my life.

1 of many opinions

Revisado: 01-13-22

I love this book because it is authentic. I also love my traditions and how my culture has shaped my beliefs. I agree that monogamy is outdated and unrealistic. Been married, was cheated on. Dated,
been cheated on. I call it cheating still :) will I ever find monogamy? Probably not, but I don’t depend on it for my happiness anymore. I’ll get a dog and a community to fulfil my needs - I’ve had enough horrible and nice relationships to tie me over until my inevitable death. I wholeheartedly agree on being enlightened and loving yourself. But I hope my ideal of
finding a monogamous relationship will happen - it would be nice :) I would never become a psychologist because you have to see everyone’s perspective and I’m sure psychologists are some of the most enlightened people but I choose to keep some of my cultures traditions in tact! Great listen! Enjoyed the book over all.
