About this ebook

A down-to-earth plan to help us recover from the wounds of the past and grow more and more into the image of God.

Many of us struggle with anxiety, loneliness, and feelings of inadequacy. We know that God created us in his image, but how can we be loving when we feel burned out? How can we be free when we struggle with addiction? Will we ever enjoy the complete healing God promises?

Combining his professional expertise and personal experience, renowned psychologist Dr. Henry Cloud guides us through four basic ways to become joy-filled, mature followers of Christ:

• Connect more deeply with others
• Separate from others in healthy ways
• Understand the good and the bad in ourselves and others
• Grow into greater emotional and spiritual maturity

With fascinating case studies and helpful techniques we can start using immediately, Changes That Heal reminds us that God promises to complete his good work in us.

Workbook and Spanish edition also available.

Ratings and reviews

This book explains an important missing ingredient to grace and truth. It does not return us to legalism. But it takes a good hard look at what the Bible necessarily says, and what it doesn't necessarily say. This book has taught me how to be an adult, and I have made more progress than I would have ever dreamed.

I really enjoyed this read by Dr. Henry Cloud. I found it helpful in better understanding underlying chronic depression and how to identify potential sources of it. Dr. Cloud writes to the reader in a very down to earth tone and genuinely seems to want to help the reader on to the path of recovery and healing. Highly recommend this book!

Anyone with a past needs to read this book. I gained a deep understanding of healthy human relationship that will aid me almost every moment of the rest of my waking life. I am eternally grateful to Henry Cloud.
