Synopsis

In Love Is a Choice, bestselling doctors Robert Hemfelt, Frank Minirth, and Paul Meierwalk you through their ten proven stages to recovery from codependency that results from external circumstances.

Humans are susceptible to codependency because of our sinful tendency to use defense mechanisms to fool ourselves. In codependent relationships, deceitful games are played, and important Christian principles are often taken out of context and abused. God wants us to have healthy relationships with a balance between being dependent and independent.

The doctors describe how the most effective means of overcoming codependent relationships is to establish or deepen a relationship with Christ Himself. They describe the causes of codependency, pointing out the factors that perpetuate it, and lead listeners through their ten stages of recovery.

I read this book for research and counseling purposes. I felt like it was very informative, Biblically based, and Christ centered. I think that Biblically based psychology in its proper context is a good thing. It doesn’t excuse sin, but it does explain the reasons why we all have a certain bend tow......more

Goodreads review by Erica on September 01, 2012

Why do your relationships struggle? Why do you develop unhealthy dependencies of any kind--too much cleaning, working, exercising...these can all be outlets for unhealthy emotions that need to be addressed. I've read dozens, if not hundreds, of self-help books and this is the definitive book. This w......more
