Healing from Codependency was scripturally sound with a lot of great information. I did enjoy the devotions for the most part.

I do however think that there are more books and programs out there that hit more of what this book lacks. Also I’m not to fond of the scripted prayers.

This book is amazing, there are 52 weekly devotionals, with a prayer and biblical reference it’s a time to reflect with codependency. Part 2 of the this book is putting things into practice it’s so good and helpful each practice has a topic, what’s the practice is useful for the amount of time the practice should take you, and direct instructions on how to put the practice into place. I received an ebook copy from NetGalley thank you to the author and the publisher this has become one of my favourite devotionals.

I appreciate the concept of this book, but I did not expect it to be so heavily based upon religion. The focus primarily was God and faith without very much focus on psychology.

This was a nice devotional that provided encouragement for those in codependent relationships. It wasn’t so much practical help as it was encouragement.

I thought this book was very helpful and informative. The topics it touched on really helped you to learn what codependency is and how it effects relationships. It is a great recommendation to those who are in codependent situations. Sometimes, you often don't realize it and this book helped show how you can pinpoint that.

This was good for someone who already has an understanding of codependency and is a Christian. This wouldn’t be something I would purchase if you want a greater understanding of codependency. It’s more of a workbook of sorts and someone who likes to journal.

For Christians who are trying to reconcile not being codependent with Christian virtues such as sacrifice and love, Lehnertz's book may be a valuable, Bible-based resource.

Lehnertz introduces the volume with suggestions on how to use the devotionals as well as resources for those experiencing abuse (hotline info).

Each devotional leads with a scripture, then Lehnertz reflects on how to abide by it and how it works with giving up codependent behavior. Finally, she provides a scripted prayer.

Personally, I like the scripture and would prefer a little less commentary (and no scripted prayers), however, I think that's a matter of taste.

For readers who try to do a devotional each day, this could be a very strong addition to their library.
