Publisher's summary

From the creators of the best-selling Life Recovery series, Take Your Life Back is a groundbreaking look at how to overcome unhealthy relationships and love others well. Counselors Stephen Arterburn and David Stoop offer personal examples, clinical insight, and scriptural truth to help you navigate your toughest relationships.

Do you have a relationship that leaves you feeling drained? Maintaining and improving this kind of relationship - whether it's a spouse, a friend, or a child - can feel exhausting, fruitless, and toxic to your own health. It's complicated: You love the person, but sometimes you feel as if you're pouring all your energy into holding your loved one, and your relationship, together. And if he or she failed or stumbled - would that make you a failure, too? What would happen if you walked away?

Arterburn and Stoop have helped millions walk the path of health through their New Life Ministries and counseling center - and now, in Take Your Life Back, they reach out to those who walk the path alongside them. We are called to love one another deeply, but it is possible to support your loved one in a way that honors the relationship, God, and yourself. Take Your Life Back is the key to fostering healthy, God-honoring attachments that benefit you and the one you love.

What an INCREDIBLE find

I’m definitely listening to it again. It’s so good for the soul. It’s very straightforward and teaches you that at the end we are human and we need to take inventory of ourselves to make changes needed.

Many nuggets of truth

This is one of those books that needs to be listened to over and over again because there is too much "food" to digest all at once. I think there is something for everyone in it.

Excellent Purview of the Mythological Hero/Heroine Narrative:

Taking your life back is far from easy, from from enjoyable, at least in the beginning, and above all, requires the upmost perseverance coupled with commitment to beck I g your best self. This book is a must for anyone who feels, and is in fact stuck – living as if they were a zombie. If you want to reconnect with your living side, grow in relationship with God, Self and others, then why not start here!

A LIFESAVING BOOK: thank you Steve and Dave

The most helpful book I have ever read. This book revealed my recurring cycles and patterns giving me the hope I needed to break free from the bondage that they have kept me in for 50 plus years! What wisdom these two men have.
