It’s like it controls me.” “Why can’t I get free from this cycle?” If you find yourself having these feelings, it’s time to take your life back. Through personal examples, clinical insights, and spiritual truth, Stephen Arterburn and David Stoop will show you how to overcome the habits and history that are keeping you down―and take new, positive steps toward change; heal from the hurts, setbacks, and broken relationships that affect you every day; develop better boundaries with others in your life; stop overreacting and start responding appropriately to any situation or circumstance; break the cycle of behavior that harms you and your relationships; find the freedom you have longed for. Your past and current circumstances don’t have to define you, and they don’t have to determine the direction of your life. Take Your Life Back is the key to moving from reactive attitudes and behaviors to healthy, God-honoring responses that will help you live the life you were meant to live. Review: I initally decided to read Take Your Life Back in order to understand the book and to be able to recommend it to the stepcouples - I heard Steve Arterburn speak at the FamilyLIfe Stepfamily Summit this past September and was impressed with his workshops. I initally decided to read Take Your Life Back in order to understand the book and to be able to recommend it to the stepcouples I work with. WOW! This book ministered to me. This book is for anyone who struggles with life. Authors Arterburn and Stoop do an amazing job walking you through what it looks like to live a reactive life and then they take you into what to do to live a responsive life. The first few chapters will help you uncover what you may need to work on to get your life back. The chapter titled "Understanding Your Woundedness" will bless all readers especially the section on "The Battle Between Our False Self and Our Real Self". I first read the book cover to cover. I then ordered the Take Your Life Back Day by Day devotional and bought a journal to go back and “do” the book. I was aware of some things that happened in my childhood that impacted me and after reading this book I have realized that they have strongholds on me that I’ve allowed to keep me in certain places where I do react instead of respond. I’m going back now to reclaim those moments and define them so that they don’t continue to define me. The authors share when they emotionally disconnected from their family of origin. Through this book I now know mine and can see clearly the impact it has on my life today. As a Christian who ministers to others I had to humble myself to see that I too have much work to do on me and most likely always will. This book does a great job of explaining co-dependency. I do life with someone with borderline personality disorder and this is the FIRST and ONLY book that describes the challenges and gives reasons for why it is so exhausting - page 42 was a freedom call for me. If you are struggling with where you are in life I encourage you to invest in yourself and purchase this book — read it then do it. I highly recommend the Day to Day devotional that goes with Take Your Life Back. I have already purchased this book to give to my stepdaugther who has experienced trauma as well as for a friend who doesn’t battle addiction or trauma but who like me has some dysfunction in her family of origin that still holds her back today. I’ll be doing a more thorough book review on my website encouraging others to get this book — NOW! Review: Such a straightforward, helpful read for hurting people. - I'm a college student still struggling with a nasty incident from high school involving a figure of authority on a power trip. I ordered this book, hoping to gain some valuable insight into my pain and to find some help for the healing process. I found both, and so much more. Take Your Life Back is a straightforward, to-the-point self-help book that is well-grounded in Scripture but also takes psychology/science into account. I found tremendous comfort in this book and would recommend it to other people who have gone through some rough times, whether self-inflicted or outside of their control. My incident was "minimal" compared to other traumatic events, but this book was still relevant and helpful for me during my healing. Even if you've felt as though you've lost touch with yourself somehow, this is a great book. 10/10 would recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #57,881 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #78 in Codependency (Books) #718 in Christian Self Help #827 in Christian Personal Growth | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 581 Reviews | ## Images ![Take Your Life Back: How to Stop Letting the Past and Other People Control You - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811kxLu-CML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I initally decided to read Take Your Life Back in order to understand the book and to be able to recommend it to the stepcouples *by H***R on November 7, 2016* I heard Steve Arterburn speak at the FamilyLIfe Stepfamily Summit this past September and was impressed with his workshops.
