This book was truly a God-send! It was so easy to read and understand and can be finished in one quick sitting. But don't let the size of this book fool you. It gave me a new way to view my child's (and husband's) ADD, from both the physical and the spiritual sides. This book was encouraging and made me re-think all I had previously read about the subject of ADD. This is a "must-read" for those wanting help and biblical wisdom in dealing with those you love who fit the description of ADD. Author Ed Welch and "Resources for Changing Lives" are at the top of my reading list!

I did not appreciate some of the statements made in this booklet. I do not believe that Mr Welch has any basis to substantiate his claim that ADD is not a physical problem. I believe he makes blanket statements that offend a family who is really struggling to make sense of ADD and how it effects their family.
No amount of "spirituality" will help a child with asthma will it? Yet there are no blood tests or x-rays to diagnose this. Does Mr. Welch actually know for certain that there is no medical tests to diagnose this problem? I have read material to suggest that an MRI does diagnose.
I thought this booklet to be stated in an offensive way. Does Mr. Welch have a child of his own that struggles and cries and tries his absolute hardest to remember and obey? I do! Until Mr. Welch can tell me that he walks in my shoes and knows for certain that ADD is just a spiritual problem, his words do nothing but offend.
