The Gift to Listen, the Courage to Hear Paperback – January 1, 2003

Good book on listening especially if you are a leader or in a relationship. Listening is big part of our lives and we don't do enough of it and Cari Jackson takes us through steps to improve or even to endure this process in our lives to have health relationship...It is a good and easy read.

This little book is packed with deep insights that were extremely helpful to me. I highly recommend it.

This book has been used for years in our university social work programs with students in field practicums. It provides great insight and a place to begin conversation as students delve into the complexities of helping relationships.

This was an interesting book.I think it would be a good read for people. studying communication and human connections.Good read

Five starts; this book is very enriched my learning about relationship by listen with a deep and meaningful way to connect people from the diversities of situations, cultures, languages, and believing. THANKS.

A real work geared for those serious about homiletics and systematic theology.

This book has some good qualities as it's quick to read, lays out some reminders on what makes others an ineffective listener, and in Chapters 9-10 gives good tips on how to correct negative behaviors in listening. Overall, though, this book is boring. Most of the information is not new and some of the terms she uses, such as soul listening, are just cheesy. There are better reads out there for effective listening.

Excellent book, inspiring. Lots of useful illustrations

My wife and I read The Gift To Listen, The Courage To Hear together. We found it readable, interesting, and applicable. In our technological society, many people feel unheard. When we feel unheard, we feel not understood, and when we feel that we are not understood, we feel hurt. The hurt feeling leads to all sorts of social malfunction. We encourage people to read this good book carefully and set our on the journey of listening to others and hearing them. The author also encourages us to hear ourselves.
