This review is from: The Gift of Taking: Honor Yourself First -- All Else Will Follow (Paperback)

Dr. Jill Kahn and her husband Danny seemed to have it all, but still weren't happy. They ignored that emotional emptiness until Danny received a diagnosis of a malignant brain tumor. That wake-up call forced them to look at their lives more analytically. In her search, Dr. Jill learned if we constantly give of ourselves and never take the time or effort to "fill our own wells", we can't survive--physically or spiritually. We must first ask ourselves what we truly desire before we can pray to receive God's intended gifts.

Read The Gift of Taking today and learn what she has taught many of her patients. You, too, can live a full, satisfying life. It's there just for the taking.

This review is from: The Gift of Taking: Honor Yourself First -- All Else Will Follow (Paperback)

The wonderful book really had me understanding the importance of honoring myself - filling up so that I have more to give!
There were many concepts, not necessarily new to me, yet presented in a fashion that I had never previously considered.
Very enlightening.
