REFRAME YOUR LIFE Transforming Your Pain Into Purpose

The gentle optimism in the author's voice sounds charmingly old-fashioned as he urges listeners to stop resisting change, give up shame and guilt about past mistakes, and stop resenting past injustices--all traditional and familiar prescriptions in the mental health genre. A Christian counselor, author, and radio host, he supports his advice with faith-based stories but doesn't let his Christian foundations dominate the message. He understands the problems that occur in male-female relationships and is especially eloquent in spelling out the need to overcome roadblocks and to reframe problems. With his natural speaking style, this is a down-to-earth reminder that we have more control over our emotional health then many of us want to believe.
