"How People Grow - What the Bible reveals about personal growth" is a book written by Dr. Henry Cloud (no relation to Charlie St. Cloud) and Dr. John Townsend. They are two Christian psychologists and this book was written to help people understand growth in their life from a christian perspective.
I am reading this book for Young Life leadership, and right off the bat I loved it. Before I started reading it, I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive. I mean a book about personal growth? Boring! Right? Wrong. This book shattered many misconceptions I had about myself, many of which I am sure many other people have.
I am not very far into the book, but within the first few chapters it has brought up an issue that has been prevalent in my life. I get depressed often, and it seems like I lose hope. When I am happy, I am full of praise for God, yet when I get down I tend to feel like He cant help, like my life problems are different separate from my spiritual growth.
But this book has helped to point out that they are not, that "all growth is spiritual growth."
I don't know. Maybe you should just read it for yourself.
Check out Drs. Cloud and Townsend!
