4.0 out of 5 stars Drop The Rock, June 19, 2001

By A Customer

This is a great "quick reader". If anyone is totally aware that they have a character defect and wants to make a change in their life, this book really helps on spiritual level.

I've had a character defect for a long time, knew about it, wanted to take the necessary steps to make it better, but procrastinated HUGE!

This little book provides that one thing we all need - SELF ESTEEM and the tools necessary to change our lives for the better.

We must all remember.... once you turn it over to the Lord, it's amazing the path he has paved for you.

By A Customer

Drop the Rock focuses on learning how to live life on life's terms without carrying around the "rock" of character defects. Based on 12-Step recovery processes, the book goes further into detail ways to live Steps 6 & 7. A great tool for anyone in recovery!

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READ!!!, April 22, 2003

By	Larry Scantlebury (Ypsilanti, MI United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

If you're in recovery, this is a great, great read. It takes a hard and quick look at this most elusive of steps.

The BB tells us that 'alcohol was but a symptom of our disease.' If that's the case, how do we change the balance? We now have a happy liver. How do we get a happy soul?

This book is the real deal. Highly recommended. I can't give it more than 5 stars but it deserves more.
