If you've ever wondered whether or not you had a hard heart and were unforgiving, this book can really make sense of how we process information, and what "works" individually. It details the different types of apology, and why some types can bounce off our heart like popcorn, while others make it melt like butter (I know, tres cheesy)! You get a solid picture of what type of apology means the most to you, so you can do away with self blame and get to the heart of forgiveness.

This book will help me in my counseling practice to help clients see the importance of apology and understand what those they have offended most need to hear from them to reconcile the relationship.

This is a great book. Our "Unofficial Ladies' Small Group" decided on going through this book after two of us read parts of it. Apologies are hard to do and know you are really communicating with the other person. The authors have written some very practical means of expressing your apologies and the importance of being sincere.

Along the same lines of the other books by Gary Chapman, The Five Languages of Apology takes a relational issue and then helps the reader see if from different perspectives. For this book Chapman teamed up with psychologist Jennifer Thomas to discuss a persons "apology language" - that is what an individual believes represents a real apology. The authors stress needing to know the "language" of the person you are apologizing to in order for the apology to be effective.This book really made me think. When I apologize for something I usually just want to get it over with as quick and painlessly as possible; I rarely think of the type of apology the offended party needs. Needless to say, my perspective is changed after reading this book.I highly recommend this book. It will improve your relationships.

This book is one of the better installments in the "Five Love Languages" series of Gary Chapman. Having read the original Five Love Languages title and a few of the follow-ups, this one provides the most additional fresh material to the initial volume. Being able to communicate a sincere apology is an increasingly needed skill in today's age of dodging responsibility and laying blame on others. Chapman and Thomas do a good job in providing the reader insight as to how to apologize in five different styles, depending upon the recipient's personality or "apology language." Included with the book are an apology profile and a group study guide. For anyone wanting truly to make amends in a fractured relationship, this volume is a good place to start.
