"I said I was sorry!"

Even in the best of relationships, all of us make mistakes. We do and say things we later regret and hurt the people we love most. So we need to make things right. But simply saying you’re sorry is usually not enough.

In this audiobook, number-one New York Times best-selling author Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas unveil new ways to effectively approach and mend fractured relationships. Even better, you’ll discover how meaningful apologies provide the power to make your friendships, family, and marriage stronger than ever before. When Sorry Isn’t Enough will help you

  • Cool down heated arguments
  • Offer apologies that are fully accepted
  • Rekindle love that has been dimmed by pain
  • Restore and strengthen valuable relationships
  • Trade in tired excuses for honesty, trust, and joy

This book was previously published as The Five Languages of Apology. Content has been significantly revised and updated.

Featured Article: An Apology—A Perfect Tool of Life


At one or many points in our lives we will owe someone an apology, and someone will owe us one as well. Many will get it right, by simply and sincerely saying "I’m sorry." They might even add, "What can I do to make this right?" Unfortunately, some will try but render their apology null and void by saying, "I'm sorry, but..." In an earnest apology, there is no "but." Much has been written on the subject from psychologists to humorists to trusted gatekeepers of etiquette whose engaging listens will guide you to the right apology.

I have several of Gary's books,, I used the premixed in my womens empowerment coaching. A 3 year relationship with a man I loved, but he struggled to love himself caused an interesting complexity. I'm a stand up humble woman, who leads and directs others through the power of Christ. My partner struggled with my conviction to Christ, my life mission and dedication to grow. Long story short, he made choices and went to prison for 10 months. within the first 3 months he read the book, "When Sorry isnt Enough". This book along with Bible study started his transformation... which I pray holds true. Thank you Gary, I appreciate your beautiful translations, which I believe come from God.

I loved listening to this book. I have for years been raised to not hear “I’m sorry” or heard excuses as to why I made a situation worse. My own husband hasn’t ever apologized in my apology language. A couple of nights ago, I put the book to the test and apologized to him for the hurtful things I’ve said and done over the years that hurt his self-esteem and worth as a man. I used a similar script in the book and truly sat in my apology with true remorse and the want and need to fix an unhealthy cycle. It worked and I am going to buy a physical copy of the book so my husband and I can go through it together as a couple, hoping to heal past traumas. I hadn’t forgiven myself for some things in my past that cost me my job and reputation until hearing the last few chapters on “forgiving yourself”. I had been held captive by my feeling of shame and self-hatred for my mistakes. I have forgiven myself and have asked God to forgive me as well again. This book is life changing. Please listen to it with an open mind and open heart.

Great book! I have been able to put a lot of things to rest because of this book. I am learning the art of forgiveness.

I needed to make several changes in my life and this book along with the 5 love languages have helped me. Even though I already lost the love of my life because of my attitude, these books are a big life change for me and God sees my change. Thank you Gary for your work.
