Truly a life changing book. Grasping the concepts within allows you to move mountains. Stubborn arguments that go no where become inspirational and motivational when one party paints word pictures that speak to the heart of the other. Marriages, friendships, parent-child and professional relations

all benefit by word pictures. At the end of the book there a warning. The last chapter is, "The Dark Side of Emotional Word Pictures" But then after that is this "!101 Life-Tested Word Pictures" and following are notes with all sorts of scriptural references and then comes the 12 Session "Study Guide." An excellent book for caring people who want to do good in this world one person at a time. Not to be missed.
