Like I said, my understanding changes from day to day. Working this program in all areas of my life gives me a set of tools to pick up and principles to follow, with a God of my understanding and people I trust to guide me.

I personally would never tell anyone what is and is n' t meant by terms like "the tools". Just point them in the direction of the book, share my experience and watch them grow
