Summary

"I said I was sorry!"

Even in the best of relationships, all of us make mistakes. We do and say things we later regret and hurt the people we love most. So we need to make things right. But simply saying you’re sorry is usually not enough.

In this audiobook, number-one New York Times best-selling author Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas unveil new ways to effectively approach and mend fractured relationships. Even better, you’ll discover how meaningful apologies provide the power to make your friendships, family, and marriage stronger than ever before. When Sorry Isn’t Enough will help you

  • Cool down heated arguments
  • Offer apologies that are fully accepted
  • Rekindle love that has been dimmed by pain
  • Restore and strengthen valuable relationships
  • Trade in tired excuses for honesty, trust, and joy

This book was previously published as The Five Languages of Apology. Content has been significantly revised and updated.

Too much religion

I understand putting ref to scriptures for those that hold Christian beliefs but the whole talk to God thing really puts me off this author. Not sure he'd get away with it in the UK publishing field. You don't need to keep shoving God down my throat so for that reason I've given it a 3 star. I would never go back to a counsellor if they even mentioned God so I'm a bit shocked that he uses it so much but maybe he advertises as a Christian Counsellor. Love his work but don't love the religious aspect.

Practical and heart warming. Very relationship healing; not just with others, but also with oneself.

Everybody should read this book at least once.

The narrator is great, he seems to be very passionate in his work and possibly the subject as well.
I have read lots of Gary Chapman books, this one is right up there with many other books he has written.
Thank you Dr. chapman, I know this book will help me with what I have to do, I am glad I read it first.

an unadvertised Christian bent

Nothing in the description of the book indicated that it was written with a Christian audience in mind.

Necessary for everyone on the planet

There is something to be learned here for everyone in any kind of a relationship. I wish they had mandatory life skills courses like this in the high school because most kids don't get this in the home and if they do, it's worth reinforcing! This would be a powerful way to strengthen our country by pulling family units together.

Good information, bit much on religious overtones

Would you listen to When Sorry Isn't Enough again? Why?

Good information on apologizing and using the proper methods on how to apologize. It was a bit heavy on bible and God's forgiveness though. Not everyone is Christian or even religious however and I would have preferred it that was left out. If you can gloss over those parts though, it is good information.

Very good info, just one problem...

I really enjoyed this book as I have others by Gary Chapman. The information was so on point. What I did not like is that there’s no indication that it is God based. I’m a religious person but I still believe if a book has as much religion in it as this one does, it should say so and let people make an informed decision as to whether they want to purchase it. Other than that, the book is very helpful.

Enlightening

This book really open my eyes to things I didn't know I didn't understand. I would highly recommend this book to anyone regardless of their religious preference. As always Gary Chapman has a way of explaining something so concretely with crystal-clear examples that even the most structured non open-minded person can grasp the topics that he's explaining.

Good emergency triage

I was in a world of hurt and this book really helped me process, apologize to the person and apologize to myself. Great tactical tips you can use immediately.

Super Helpful!

Absolutely helps you understand yourself and what you need in an apology. It also helped me articulate what I need to my husband.
