About this listen

"I said I was sorry!"

Even in the best of relationships, all of us make mistakes. We do and say things we later regret and hurt the people we love most. So we need to make things right. But simply saying you’re sorry is usually not enough.

In this audiobook, number-one New York Times best-selling author Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas unveil new ways to effectively approach and mend fractured relationships. Even better, you’ll discover how meaningful apologies provide the power to make your friendships, family, and marriage stronger than ever before. When Sorry Isn’t Enough will help you

  • Cool down heated arguments
  • Offer apologies that are fully accepted
  • Rekindle love that has been dimmed by pain
  • Restore and strengthen valuable relationships
  • Trade in tired excuses for honesty, trust, and joy

Absolutely fantastic book and honestly an important resource in just being an adult. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a relationship or not, knowing how to apologise is so important. This has been really eye-opening and thought provoking.

A good book, like a good relationship, is a two-way thing. While there were some very good tips, at the core there is probably only a double sided pamphlet worth of key material. The author tends to meander and waffle, especially with regard to Jesus. There is an inordinate amount of proselytising in here. I trudged through it at the start but by the end I could not finish the last 40 minutes. This may have been exacerbated by the narrators two gear delivery.

Bringing God into interpersonal forgiveness really is absolving oneself of responsibility. This goes against the whole reason someone would seek out this book.

Overall it feels like a Sunday school lecture, one way, tone deaf, a bit creepy, but maybe there are a few life tips you might remember.

Some good tips, but ruined by religious church-speak
