About this listen

In Love Is a Choice, best-selling doctors Robert Hemfelt, Frank Minirth, and Paul Meier walk you through their 10 proven stages to recovery from codependency that results from external circumstances. Humans are susceptible to codependency because of our sinful tendency to use defense mechanisms to fool ourselves. In codependent relationships, deceitful games are played, and important Christian principles are often taken out of context and abused. God wants us to have healthy relationships with a balance between being dependent and independent.

The doctors describe how the most effective means of overcoming codependent relationships is to establish or deepen a relationship with Christ himself. They describe the causes of codependency, pointing out the factors that perpetuate it, and lead listeners through their 10 stages of recovery.

I read a paperback copy about 20years ago. it was such an enlightening experience.
I still embrace the premise of the title as it has worked for me ever since.
Unfortunately, the narration of this Audiobook version is quite simply awful. It's monotonous tone combined with a seemingly disconnected sense of what is being read, plus the narrator seeming to. struggle with pronunciation and the structuring of sentences/paragraphs, is just painful.
I do love and value the content, but getting through this again as an audiobook is really challenging.
If I was not already of the great content t im looking forward to, I would request a refund.

great content but absolutely awful narration!
