I have found this book to be invaluable in assisting me to pause in my daily life and take a thoughtful assessment of what (and WHY) I am doing certain things. It is very easy to read and has lots of examples from real life situations. Personally, I have ordered 4 copies to share with friends.
Criticisms would include that it heavily-favors mothers dealing with small children. As an unmarried woman, some of the scenarios didn't apply, but I can extrapolate and apply the practices to my situation.
Another critique is that it is premised on a familiarity with the New Testament Bible and Christ's teachings. This can be daunting for non-Christians, however, I assume that if one is reading this book, one can be openminded and take the lesson that is being offered without dealing with the religious issues in the examples.
