5.0 out of 5 stars THE book that changed my attitude about tough times. March 31, 2000

By Andrea Rose

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Robert Schuller's book "TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO" gave me the insight to understand life and the knowledge that everyone goes through tough times at some point in their lives. The challange is how we deal with those times and how each one of us can take these difficult situations and turn them around into something miraculous. When you think you just can't take one more step and you read this book you will know that you can and as Dr. Schuller says, "inch by inch anything's a cinch!" If YOU are going through very tough times I strongly suggest you read this book so that you too can become a "possibility thinker" and turn YOUR "scars into stars"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and easy to read. August 22, 2000

By Buddy Schilling

Format:Mass Market Paperback

"Tough Times Never Last, But Tough People Do!" and the "Be Happy Attitudes" are the best of Robert Schuller. I give out the Tough Times book to friends in tough times. It was a real help to me, and the folks I talk to find it helpful. Easy to read, easy to remember, and eay to apply. This book has the 'how tos' that are needed in the real world -- not high sounding theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, Focused and Useful February 11, 2006

By Dr. Richard G. Petty VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a book full of time tested techniques for dealing with adversity.

If he had written the book today, I think that he would have focused more on the development of resilience. That concept was in its infancy when he was writing, but in fact many of the practical methods in the book form basic biulding blocks of this important personal attribute.

Not just a book for people in trouble: it wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tough Times Review February 6, 2010

By Len Kramer

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have not finished the book yet, but found it with some great counsel for me personally as I believe it would affect most of the readers. There are some things with which I am not really impressed, but that's from my perspective. I'm certain other readers would disagree with my assessment. Worth the price.
