I highly recommend this book! Loyal to a Fault showed me a lot about my family, how I communicate, how to fix unhealthy patterns, and how to live as a person deeply loved by God. It also reminded me to only carry the responsibility of things that are mine; I am not able to carry everyone's burdens. This is an excellent book about healthy relationships.

Courtney J. Burg has written a book that will not just be read, but broken in, highlighted, and worn with repeated use. This is one of those books that will get passed around, because we love our friends and want them to be the best version of themselves, and the content within will help them identify their patterns with real life 'this is what it looks like' advice as well as practical steps of moving forward without any guilt or shame of how you ended up in these patterns. I was halfway through this and already recommending it out to people I know would benefit from it. At the end of each chapter are more questions to help one really look at oneself to see, explore, help identify where one is in the process. One for the bookshelf!!
*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. This review is my own opinion*

I really liked this book. It was packed FULL of information. She's a psychologist so comes at the healing from a psychological perspective but also biblical. I am going to read this one again as it was chock full of information.

While there are a couple things in this book that will be helpful in general to readers, it's very much geared toward strained relationships within your *family* or *family* trauma. This is needed, absolutely, but many times felt either way too vague or swung the other way and was only for those struggling with parents or siblings. If that's you, this may be one to consider reading. However, it didn't line up with the book description and may not find a readership... or may lead to disappointed readers who thought the book would offer what is promised.

This is one the best nonfiction books I have read in a very long time. It is filled with hope and understanding and ministered to the places in my heart that were hurt from my dysfunctional family of origin. I highly recommend everyone read this book!
