Required reading to transform your beliefs and regulate emotions. October 24, 2008
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I highly recommend this resource to many of my clients. It is a quality work of combining cognitive therapy with a Christian approach. By applying these principles and the truth of God's perspective, it can transform how you view yourself, your relationships and controlling your emotions instead of your emotions controlling you.
A Life Changing Book For Some of My Clients April 23, 2008

I am a therapist and have been in practice for over 30 years. I have reviewed thousands of patient education and self help books, but I only recommend a few to my clients. This book has been truly life changing for many of my clients over the last several years. Backus does an exceptional job of integrating cognitive therapy and scriptural principles in a workbook format. For anyone who wants to learn greater emotional control, I highly recommend this book.

Great book May 18, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I would highly recommend this book if you suffer from mild or severe depression, anxiety, anger, or perfectionism, and are looking for help from a Christian perspective. I have never been diagnosed with any of these, but know I have some tendencies in a couple areas, as probably do most people. I admit I did not take 6 weeks to work through the book, but read pretty much straight through, taking more time in certain chapters. It's been a great help to me!
 Very Helpful! March 27, 2007

I found this book to be very helpful - It will walk you through a self-examination with plenty of follow through in the workbook. It is extremely good when used with Experiencing God and Search For Significance.
A Real Eye Opener ! November 10, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I consider myself a perceptive, intelligent Christian with a balanced perspective of my life...but I was somewhat humbled (understatement!) by the author's techniques that truly put the spotlight on MY life. I began to acknowledge the mistruths, defined as core ideas I acted on and made decisions on that were actually false ideas, even lies...formed by my own foolishness and misinterpretations of life's experiences. I then saw how those lies led me to act in ways that were not in alignment with God's will or with general basic moral standards. But this book gave me the tools to rebuild these inner beliefs and change my thoughts and actions for the better. All of this was done without any complicated or far-fetched philosophical exercises; just some basic reflection and "diagramming" on paper my beliefs and their characteristics. "Learning to Tell Myself the Truth" is a must read (or a "must do") for anyone struggling with self-esteem, addiction, a sense of having no real purpose, or just trying to understand your role in this world...I think that covers us all! Five stars in my opinion.
