When Sorry Isn't Enough: Making Things Right with Those You Love Review: Good book for human beings. - TLDR version: If you're a human being, like myself, you make mistakes. In fact, you probably make mistakes, just like I do, every day. But how often do you actually reconcile those mistakes? What impact does that have on your interpersonal relationships? This book is a great guide to navigating that, but also to be more in tune with the language of apology and repentance (not in a religious facet). I'd say that this isn't a silver bullet, but should be coupled with counseling if you have important personal relationships in real jeopardy. More detail: This book analyzes apologies and pushes you towards understanding not only the value of a good apology, but how to make sure you're most effective in delivering that apology. To be clear, this isn't a book that teaches you how to lie through an apology and get away with things, but a book that teaches you (with examples) how to deliver a sincere apology and what happens next. It goes through several hangups that may be stopping you from reconciling with loved ones, and is realistic about what to expect after. Keep in mind that this isn't a silver bullet or a step-by-step guide on how to reconcile, but it certainly gives you a good framework to go from. There's an aspect of self-discovery involved, and even after the apology, this book is clear that you're at the mercy of the recipient of your apology, so no false promises of being forgiven right away (or even at all!). Now, the less than awesome (at least in my mind). This book assumes some level of Christian faith, and while that's not always a bad thing in moderation, this veers over towards more of a religious counselor style book at times. If you're not Christian, portions of this book that use examples from the Christian texts may bore or just water the point of the story being told down. Ignore the religious aspects and focus on what the moral of the story being told is, and you'll get through it. Review: LEARN HOW TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE AND APOLOGIZE!! - JUST BUY IT IF YOU CAN'T OR WON'T SAY YOU ARE SORRY....SAY YOU ARE SORRY TOO MUCH!!! This book in my opinion is a SLAM DUNK WINNER! In every possible way in understanding how important it is that most of the time "SORRY" just doesn't cut it. I know for me I over use the word and it has lost its impact with the people who I care for and love. If you are not afraid to getting to look inside of yourself, take a moral inventory and process the information, you can come out the other side a better person. You will have the ability to apologise in a better way, avoiding the pitfalls of apologizing for the wrong reasons or just for ending an argument. You can get to understand and learn how to speak with your partner the way they need to hear it not the way you want to say it. We all have different ideas on what is the right way to say that you are sorry. I for one am glad that I took the time to read this and listened to the authors advise. The book is an easy read, well written and full of helpful advice. I would buy this again. As for packaging.... It's book so really hard to damage. Shipping was quick. Seller did a great job. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #194,861 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #773 in Christian Family & Relationships | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,839) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.41 x 9 inches | | Edition | New | | ISBN-10 | 0802407048 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0802407047 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2013 | | Publisher | Northfield Publishing | ## Images ![When Sorry Isn't Enough: Making Things Right with Those You Love - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TF78QnC+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book for human beings. *by D***R on July 13, 2018* TLDR version: If you're a human being, like myself, you make mistakes.

It covers the basics without going into lofty flights of prose and thought. Just what you need to do, and that's it. That doesn't mean taking action is easy, but their goal is give you understanding as simply as possible. This is not a theology book. It's a practical how-to book. You'll find some Scriptures, and it's written from a Christian worldview, but mainly Thomas and Chapman draw on their years of counselling experience. The facts of sin and repentance are already assumed; they're out to tell you how to put that knowledge to practical use. They had a lot of stories with couples, singles, young and old, family and friends, to give a wide scope of how these principles work. I found the life experience aspect a refreshing inclusion. In some ways this book was a hard, hard read. I have an extremely tender conscience, with an extreme perfectionism streak. This makes it difficult to accept messing up, while at the same time I don't like ignoring what I've done wrong. It is difficult to go through the apology process, but the older I get, the more I want an authentic, growing relationship with Christ and with family and friends. In that sense, it was convicting. On the other hand, some of it was incredibly healing. The author duo explain that it's not wrong to want justice, as long as you handle that desire righteously. Nor does forgiveness mean that your memory is wiped of the event. Nor should you allow people to manipulate you with poor and insincere apologies. Nor should you implode and refuse to forgive yourself. As for the apology languages themselves? Oftentimes the way you give an apology is your personal language. So think of the last one you gave, and what you said--any of the phrases up top ring with you? My apology language is Expressing Regret, with Accepting Responsibility being a close second. (Though in rare cases I feel pretty strongly about Making Restitution.) I appreciated this teaching, would highly recommend it, and hope to read it again. I think I'll need some time to fully process it; but I was so blessed by When Sorry Isn't Enough, and I hope you will be too. ## Frequently Bought Together - When Sorry Isn't Enough: Making Things Right with Those You Love - The 5 Apology Languages: The Secret to Healthy Relationships - Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away: Real Help for Desperate Hearts in Difficult Marriages --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3706276-when-sorry-isnt-enough-making-things-right-with-those-you](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3706276-when-sorry-isnt-enough-making-things-right-with-those-you) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
