From Publishers Weekly
As the son of Robert H. Schuller, founding pastor of the Crystal Cathedral megachurch in California and host of The Hour of Power television broadcast, Schuller (Getting Through What You're Going Through) grew up knowing that he would have big shoes to fill. Although he is inheriting the ministry reins, Schuller's goal has been to do so in his own way, and in this book he hopes to inspire others to fulfill their God-given potential and pursue their dreams. The encouragement is fairly trite: Schuller encourages readers that God is with them on their journey, that bad things that happen will be a good part of God's overall plan, and that God has a unique purpose for everyone. While there is a lot of scripture throughout, these are shallow skimmings, with brief thoughts held together by numerous stories and one analogy after another. Tinges of prosperity gospel teaching and undercurrents of pop psychology lead to advice like Christ died for the purpose of ensuring you success in your journey, and Develop an overview and create your own personal map. Despite a built-in audience and a coveted foreword from Dr. Phil, this book may alienate readers with its stale, unclear writing. (Nov.)

Customer Reviews

A Great Read
This book is classic Robert Schuller. It is well written and straight to the point. In this book Dr. Schuller nails the point across to the reader that we should seek out the path that God has chosen for us, not the path that someone else thinks we should be on. I truly loved this book and could not put it down. I would recommend this book to all readers because it is life changing. Thank you Robert Schuller. My husband and I both felt up lifted from this read.

READ THIS !!
Yesterday my 10 year old son and I got to meet Pastor Schuller when he did a book signing in White Plains, New York. He is a wonderful person. I thanked him for writing this book and told him that we watch The Hour of Power every Sunday morning on tv.

I bought a copy of Walking in Your Own Shoes a few days before meeting him and I have been having a hard time putting it down. It draws you into the reality that with God in your life, anything is possible and I have seen this happen in my own life!

I bought "7" more copies of the book to give to friends and family.

WHAT A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS GIFT!!

A book for when times are tough.
Robert A. Schuller's book completely uplifted me! This book reminds me that I can walk on my own path; that "everything is possible for him who believes." How refreshing to know that I don't need to model my life on the choices made by others. I can select from the choices God gives me. I would recommend this book to anyone!
