A book that wants to help you find the truth. A book that does not beat you down with religion but, through the examples of others helps guide youth the right path. ( )Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I started, but didn't finish this book. I was somewhat discouraged when I discovered that it is actually a religious book (I hadn't initially realized that), but I was still willing to read it. However, in chapter two about a women who had been raped and molested several times, starting in childhood, there came point in which she "contacted her father, who had physically and sexually abused her as a child, and wrote him a letter asking his forgiveness for the hatred she had harbored toward him up till then" and I "fuck this." If that's the sort of message this book is trying to send me, I'm not here for it.Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. Early ReviewerSorry for the delay. While I can appreciate the candor of this book and the raw pain that people have gone through, I found this book to be very one-dimensional in its outlook. Unless one has a decidedly Christian view of the world, I do not think that this book would be helpful. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. Sorry for the delay in posting this review but life had other plans.Anyway this book was a rather interesting read. There was a lot of helpful advice mixed in but it had a lot or religious structure to it. Those who aren't religious or into that kind of thing will probably not like most of this book because of that. On the other hand, those who are christian or of the book will probably like the advice it gives. Noted, I didn't agree with everything the author said but that is perfectly fine. This book is supposed to offer advice and give people a chance to slow down and think about whatever subject that is bothering them. Which it does accomplish. I would give this to my more bible versed friends if they ever felt trapped. Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I didn't really like this book, but a quote in the introduction stuck with me. "You can find joy in the present, real joy, through serving others -- by helping them or easing their load. You can also look out just for yourself, though if you do you will always be grumpy. You will never be satisfied. Maybe that's hell." Food for thought. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
You name the hell...there is a way out. After decades of pastoral counseling, Johann Christoph Arnold still marvels at our capacity to make life miserable for ourselves and one another. This book, his tenth, maps out a sure way out of life's hells and toward a happy, meaningful life. In contrast to the makeovers and quick fixes hawked by popular culture, Escape Routes offers a tougher prescription. Using real-life stories as travel guides, Arnold exposes the root causes of loneliness, frustration, alienation, and despair and shows how anyone, regardless of their age, income bracket, or social status, can find freedom and new life. The choices he presents are clear: "to be selfish or selfless, to forgive or to hate, to burn with lust or with love." No matter what your problems, or who you are, this book will help you on your way, provided you're ready to take its medicine. ,br>Arnold writes: "Call it life, call it hell: there's not a person I've met who hasn't been lonely, discouraged, depressed, or guilt-ridden at one time or another, if not sick, burned-out, or at sea in a relationship. Sometimes I know this because they have told me about their problems; sometimes I can tell just by looking in their eyes. That's what got me started on this book--the fact that all of us have known some form of hell in our lives, and that insofar as any of us find freedom, confidence, companionship, and community, we will also know happiness."
