Reviewer: Midwest Book Review from Oregon, WI USA
In Life Skills: Keys To Effective Living, Jill Raiguel draws upon her many years of training and experience as a licensed marriage, family, and child counselor specializing in trauma and abuse therapy to write a comprehensive presentation identifying the twenty essential life skills necessary to overcoming physical, sexual, mental or emotional abuse to live happy fulfilling lives. Her step-by-step approach is thoroughly "reader friendly", insightful, informative, practical, accessible, and effective. Life Skills is highly recommended and rewarding reading and a productive self-help workbook for anyone involved in an abusive relationship.

Simple, clear steps to follow, September 8, 2000

Reviewer: Rev. Lee Brown Rafe from Inland Empire, CA USA
As an active minister of a church and spiritual growth center in Southern California, I have had the opportunity to use Ms. Raiguel's book both in teaching (ministers and practitioners) and in counseling situations. The information is presented in a clear and simple way- so that topics, which might normally be a bit overwhelming within themselves, are more easily received.

I recommend this book to other ministers, counselors and churches. It has become a 'must have' for me.

"Life Skills: Keys to Effective Living" is a winner!, August 16, 2000

Reviewer: A reader from Portland, OR
Jill Raiguel's book, Life Skills: Keys to Effective Living is a comprehensive workbook for developing the skills necessary to create a happy, healthy life. Raiguel has developed a unique quiz that will show the reader exactly how many of the 20 identified life skills are missing. She then goes on to identify specific strategies that can be used to develop that particular skill. I thought this book was great. It's not only for those who have suffered from abuse, Life Skills: Keys to Effective Living is for anyone who wants to create a better life.

Life Skills: Keys to Effective Living, September 24, 2000

Reviewer: A 12-year old reader from Los Angeles, Calif.
As the child of an alcoholic I've found Jill Raiguel's book so helpful in huge ways and little ways. I shifted from feeling lost and damaged to knowing I'm OK. I learned that there are steps to making friends, expressing emotions safely, some of Jill's life skills from the quiz at the beginning of the book. my mom and I have read it together. Its great!

Life Skills opens doors of communication..., November 8, 2000

Reviewer: A reader from Seattle, WA United States
I bought this book for myself and found my 21 year-old daughter had picked it up and was participating in the excercises. That was the beginning of a whole new line of communication between us. We have both been affected by the divorce between me and her father years ago and this book was a key to opening the lines of communication between us after all these years. We were able to deal with some important issues at a level we have never reached before. The life skills exercises are so helpful in providing the element of "action" with learning that was so critical to us.

I urge anyone with unresolved issues to try read this book. I think it would be an excellent resource for teens on up.

The Best Emotional Support Book Written For Victims of Abuse, September 1, 2000
Reviewer: KATHLEEN HUDSON from PEORIA, AZ USA
My life has been one of grose alcohol abuse from all sides, both parents were alcoholics, both spouses and numerous friends in between. I attracted to me those that would hurt me. Jill's book helped me identify patterns in my life and understand how I was worthy of having a very different life. After reading the book and applying the principles and seeing who I am, my life has soared. My confidence in who I am has been elevated to new levels.... I am complete with me, and it is wonderful.....

I would recommend Jill's book to anyone who has had any verbal or physical abuse from twisted alcholic thinkers. You do not have to stay a victim nor do you need to remain in situations that corrupt your life. Read this book apply the insights to your life and become free to be who you are....You're worth it.
