Reviews of Except the Lord Build the House: Overcoming the Dysfunctional Mind

Here is a review from Jamie Whitaker:

“A very helpful study, especially for young men, but through them for the Christian family! We hear a lot about ‘breaking the cycle’; in this book, the author shares through biblical examples how to break the cycle of violence in the home. Stories are powerful, both in the way of explanation and of motivation, and their power is captured in the chapters of this book. The author exposes and destroys the lie that we must remain what we are or what has been put into us–our thoughts, feelings and behavior all can change where needed, if we are open to it–believe that it is needed, and believe that it is possible. Question and answer format keeps the reader’s attention. Highly recommended!”

Below is an excerpt of Carrie Truelove’s review of Except the Lord Build the House: Overcoming the Dysfunctional Mind. Carrie Truelove is the founder of Truelove Homes, which is “a non-profit 501(c)3 Christian ministry [that] educates, encourages, and empowers pregnant survivors of domestic violence as they seek safe and affordable homes, where truth and love will dwell.”

This is what Carrie Truelove wrote: “As I read the author’s heartbreaking but intriguing story within the first few pages of the book, Except the Lord Build the House: Overcoming the Dysfunctional Mind by Franklin Morris II, my attention was immediately captivated. Though easy to read, Morris’ writing style provided much thought provoking wisdom. As I read along his insights gleaned from his experiences as well as his Biblical research, I found myself highlighting poignant quotes on nearly every page of this 85 page book. Several months later, while thumbing through this small but impacting book, I reflect on my own added notes within the spaces of the pages. Any book that provokes the reader to both highlight and jot down notes is a superior read in my humble opinion. It is my sincere hope Morris writes a Bible study discussion guide to accompany this work.”

This is a 5 star review from Amazon.com:

“I left my mother’s violent and dysfunctional home when I was 18-years old. If this book had been in my possession at that time, I believe my life would have taken a different path. When I left home, I had no Biblical knowledge to rely on, and no relationship with Jesus Christ. Sadly, I took the same path as the ungodly influences that surrounded my entire life growing up.

Not only is Franklin Morris II an awesome writer, his work helped me to not view myself as an extension of my family dysfunction. I am a new person in Christ, and the past does not define the person that I am today. It took a while to cut the mental cord, and this book gave me the final spiritual scissors that I needed. I highly recommend this spiritually inspired work for all who desire to break free from mindsets imposed upon us by Satan, and not inspired by Christ.

Lastly, I recommend reading through once, and again with pen in hand to make notes. This is a habit for me while reading and it helps to make the words come alive with deeper meaning. Thank you Franklin so much for sharing your work with me. I will be sure to mention you on my blog.”

Below is Ann Taylor’s review on Amazon.ca. It received 5 out of 5 stars with the title, “Courageous Work! Biblically Based!!”

“Courageous work! Biblical prospective of domestic violence – A ‘Thus saith the Lord’ study! Not an opinion of a professed ‘expert’. Definitely can be used as a reference guide for others experiencing the same!”

“Biblical prospective of domestic violence – A ‘Thus saith the Lord’ study!”

One of my editors, Mariah Patterson, said this about Except the Lord Build the House: Overcoming the Dysfunctional Mind:

“Your book is amazing. It is very inspiring for anybody who has grown up in a dysfunctional home and, unfortunately, it happens too often in this world…Beyond the practical knowledge you provide, the very well-researched Biblical references will be a very invaluable key to unlocking the healing words of the Bible.

It has definitely been a privilege to work with you on your manuscript.”

Below is a review of Except the Lord Build the House: Overcoming the Dysfunctional Mind, on Amazon.com, which received 5 out of 5 stars. It is titled: “Exceptionally Helpful and a Quick Read!!”

“This book is exceptional reading. It uses the Bible to clearly lay out that a dysfunctional family (no matter what area of dysfunction) is rooted in not having its beginning and daily operations designed and led by our Lord and Savior. I have shared it with several people and each one has said they have been blessed. It has even brought an outward change in a marriage relationship with a couple whom I purposely shared it with and prayed the same would happen. To God be the glory!! Except the Lord Build the House needs to be read and shared throughout families, friends, acquaintances . . . all mankind.”

This is a 5 out of 5 star review from Amazon.com entitled: “Thought provoking read! Coming from an extremely dysfunctional home …”

“Thought provoking read! Coming from an extremely dysfunctional home as a child, I was determined not to raise my own children in such an environment. And though I knew something was amiss, it wasn’t until I read this book that I realized, though it was in a different form, there was plenty of dysfunction going on in our home. I’m very grateful to the author for allowing himself to be used of God to help others come out of the situation they may find themselves in. I appreciate the practical solutions offered and especially that the author points readers to our only source of true Hope. God’s way as pointed out in His Word is referred to again and again, and therein lies the answer to every question. The information found in these pages along side God’s Word is changing lives and saving families. Can’t wait to get my copy of the next book!”

Here is another 5 out of 5 star review from Amazon.com by KC:

“I would recommend this book to every one who calls himself or herself a Christian. This book addresses domestic violence but while doing so, it lays out practical biblical principles on submission to Christ and overcoming the devil. It breaks down what it means to forgive by showing us the way Christ forgave and therefore points out everyone’s most desperate need to be in constant connection with Christ.”

It “…points out everyone’s most desperate need to be in constant connection with Christ.”

Additionally, this Amazon.com reviewer gave Except the Lord Build the House: Overcoming the Dysfunctional Mind 5 out of 5 stars and wrote:

“I was blessed by this book and the practical, biblical and simple principles presented within it. Having experienced every sort of abuse and dysfunction personally, I think how much healing could have come had I understood these principles earlier on in my life. Also, how much I could have avoided dysfunctional relationships. Oh, I wish that everyone would read, understand and follow these principles and save themselves (and others) much unneeded pain and suffering. God has a plan to bring us victoriously out of dysfunction whether we are the victims or the abuser. There are answers in this book for you and those you love. This vital information can help many people to avoid the painful residual damage from their own dysfunction and also to avoid dysfunctional relationships.”
