Product Description
Review
"Walking in Your Own Shoes is made all the more powerful because Dr. Schuller includes very personal accounts of his life, growing up as the son of a preacher who found his own "shoes." He offers specific tools for creating a new definition of success in our lives, as well as learning to walk by faith." (Dr. Phil McGraw )
Product Description
Robert A. Schuller explores the various ways individuals lose or experience interference with their connection to God. He explains that emotions such as shame, regret, fear, and disappointment can stand in the way of the intimate association God wants with His children.
The good news is that when His people are struggling, God stays close. There are many ways to reestablish a dynamic connection with Him. Schuller calls these "Connection Corrections" and leads readers through identifying communication barriers and how to break them. Each chapter delves into the reasons readers fail to connect with God, how to begin repairing the broken wires, and the life-altering benefits of restoring a positive, power-filled relationship with Him. Readers who feel adrift from God will no find that no barrier is too big to keep them from a close, loving relationship with Him.

Learning Life Lessons That Came Out Of The Blue,
By
This review is from: Leaning into God When Life Is Pushing You Away (Hardcover)
This book, divided into six sections comprising a total of 30 chapters, covers life challenges in a logical sequence. With well selected true stories of ways other people have found to strengthen their faith or find God as their last resort, the author takes us or groups along a path in solving the smallest to the most difficult of life challenges with the help of God's Grace.Rev Dr Robert Anthony Schuller is not "preaching" here from on high; in fact, only the good references inserted for further reading and the guide and questions posed at each chapter's end, remind the reader that this author is a learned preacher and more a story-teller, an historian type with an eye always on God! Not a novel. Not a sermon. A book you will want to think about and relate it to yourself, your family and friends. And in the end, you will know that leaning into God is not saying you cannot do it but rather that you can do anything, by trusting and looking to God for His guidance. Finally, if you do not need the wisdom of this book, you will at least find the words you may need to help someone else sometime and they will thank you! Jan-Michael Wildeman

Wonderful Book,
By Julie Danielson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Leaning into God When Life Is Pushing You Away (Hardcover)
I have to admit that I wasn't sure that I wanted to read this book. After all, this is the son of Dr. Robert Schuller, the founding pastor of the Crystal Cathedral. I don't find Dr. Schuller's teachings to be Biblical and thought his son would probably be the same. I was wrong.I enjoyed this book so much and found myself hard-pressed to put it down. It was not some "feel good" book where you chant a few positive thoughts as a cure all. No, this book is full of sound, Biblical advice and I know I could relate to it on so many levels. Each chapter discussed different ways that we can disassociate ourselves from God and how to get back to and with God using the Bible as the key to the pathway. I also loved the fact that at the end of each chapter, there were thought-provoking questions that we could ask ourselves in an effort to understand ourselves and our relationship with the Lord. I think one of the reasons I did chose to read this book is because of the struggles Mr. Schuller has gone through in recent months. He was removed first from the "Hour of Power" television show and then removed as Senior Pastor of the Crytal Cathedral. I wondered how he was going to handle this because, lets face it, being removed from your father's church is no small matter! I had read some of his comments online about the situation and was very impressed with his thoughts about the whole thing. He truly is leaning into God during this hard time in his life and is following Biblical principles - not some positive thinking, feel good slogan. I felt that he could understand my struggles because he's been though so much of his own and that the book was a reflection of those struggles. I knew he believed what he was writing and had probably used these same principles himself. There's something much more reassuring when the person writing the book understands what it's like to walk a mile in my moccasins! This is definitely a book that will remain on my book shelf as I know I will refer to it again and again. Sometimes during the hard times, we need someone to point the way to the right scriptures and this book definitely fills that need. I highly recommend this book! 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful
