Come check out our recap of People Fuel by Dr. John Townsend! It was an invigorating and grounding read. People Fuel helped me acknowledge and appreciate my need for people and how to better relate and maintain relationships.
Townsend talks about how when we receive the right nutrients we are able to produce good fruit in our life. The opposite is also true, if we are missing one of the key nutrients our quality of fruit will be affected. On Dr. John Townsend's website he provides free relational nutrient cards to be printed and put somewhere to help us remember the four quadrants.
Some of our favorite quotes from the book are below.
"Weakness is normal and a good part of life."
"We need to experience grace before we are ready for truth."
"Individuals who do well in life tend to be accountable to time."
My mom first heard about this book from a podcast on Focus on the family where they discussed a few of the quadrants. If you want to listen the that episode you can check it our here.
In the novel Townsend mentions a couple of videos that we mentioned in the show. Links to those are below.
*Its Not About the Nail video
*Empathy video by Brene Brown
Also we discussed the importance of being accountable to time and one way to help us do that is with a days of life poster.
People Fuel is a very significant read that can change your perspective of people and how we relate to each other. Townsend was a coauthor of the Boundaries book with Dr. Henry Cloud. Boundaries are briefly discussed in People Fuel. If you are interested in learning more I will link to the book and workbook.
