Book Reviews of Love First: A Family's Guide to Intervention

Book Review: Perfect book that guides you through steps to help your loved one
Summary: 5 Stars

The book, Love First, was the perfect guide for my family and me when we wanted to help our loved one, but did not know where to begin. Jeff Jay, in his book, Love FIrst, helped us to form and carry our an intervention with our loved one. His book is easy-to-read and is filled with love and lots examples of what to do and what not to do during an intervention. He is always positive and if the intervention does not work out as planned, he passes on the hope that it eventually will, as is what happened in our family. We recommend this book wholeheartedly for anyone who is looking for guidance on ways to help their loved one get help. The best part of it all is that he speaks from experience and he is determined to help others like he was once helped. This book was worth its weight in gold for my family and me and we are just so grateful that we had something to give us guidance when we set out to try and save our loved one.
A Tremendously Thankful Customer
