You fell in love with him. But over time you've come to realize he's in love with himself—and you feel trapped. His needs, his problems, and his plans always seem to take precedence over yours.

Dr. David Hawkins, director of the Marriage Recovery Center, offers a guide to help you identify signs of narcissism, understand how your loved one's issues are affecting you, and prepare a biblical game plan for freeing yourself to live courageously in light of God's love.

Whether the man in your life can be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), exhibits narcissistic traits and emotionally abusive behavior, or has arrogant and self-centered tendencies, the emotional pain he causes you is very real.

It's the best book I've gotten my hands on in my adult life. It teaches, informs, makes you see things for yourself, insipres, sets Biblical meanings right where they've been used in the wrong context. It helps you figure out yourself while healing and gives defined HOPE for a better future. WORTH EVERY PENNY ON ANY PLATFORM!!!!! Read it if you need to understand what a victim has been through and endured, listen when they talk and you will be amazed at hearing from them the same ways abuse happened in the book. Best of all it will equip someone that's trying to help with a great foundation on how to help.
