What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"I devoured the Dealing with the CrazyMakers in Your Life book and am now reading every Harvest House title Dr. David Hawkins has written. The book is brilliant and so are his other titles, like When Pleasing Others is Hurting You. God really used CrazyMakers to confirm that I had taken the right steps in drawing boundaries in my life. So many times Christians think that being 'Christ-like' means putting up with all the garbage people want to throw at us, but if we don't stop the garbage-throwing then we're just enabling those throwing it. CrazyMakers really helps to define the different types of 'crazy makers' and then equips the reader with how to recognize them, set boundaries, and not take the bait these people throw out. Bottom line is, 'crazy makers' WANT to engage you in their dysfunction and well...make you crazy! Dr. Hawkins empowers his readers to be able to break free from those who are making them crazy. I will be carrying David Hawkins' books on my website and in the conferences where I speak as well as quoting him when I write. They're indispensable tools for anyone who wants to live a successful Christian life."
