About this audiobook
The answer to why people feel and act the way they do lies in the profound effect of a child's bonding process with his or her parents. How successfully we form and maintain relationships throughout life is related to those early issues of "attachment." The author has cited four primary bonding styles that explain why people love, feel, and act the way they do.
This book is for anyone who desires closeness, especially in the most intimate relationships: marriage, parenting, close friends, and ultimately with God.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is very thorough in the exposition of the different types of attachments as well as their roots, patterns, downfalls. Praise God, they also share ways of deconstructing them, following patterns examplified in the word of God. This books stresses how God, being a relational being, created us for relationship with Him and each other. Therefore there is no healthy way in life without healthy relationships with Him and others. Also, God ultimately through Jesus modelled the way out. It is an excellent tool to take action with the help of the Holy Spirit but -- as they said it more than once -- it is not for the faints of heart. So if you pick up this book because you want to act, change, be set free from unhealthy patterns in your life or the one of a loved one, this is a great book. If not and you need it, I pray that reading it will motivate you to still do it.
