Selected Comments on Margaret's First Book - Break the Silence Barrier
I have just finished reading your book Break the Silence Barrier and would like to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I found it refreshingly practical, logical and easy to grasp – written in an easy-to-relate-to style that few books of this nature manage to accomplish. I rank it in my top 5, alongside Covey.

What Archbishop Desmond Tutu said about Margaret's books:
Break The Silence Barrier
When someone says to you, “This book is fantastic: I bought five copies for my five children! Everyone should have a copy!”; and another says, “This book has changed my life: why isn’t it in our schools?” then you know you are on to something.
I was very proud that one of my priests – whom I actually ordained! – should write something that has meant so much to so many people in our country, both black and white. It is easy to read and practical, but funny too. I laughed when I recognised some of things that I and my family do!
It says it is a book about communication, but it is really about fixing relationships, about understanding yourself and seeing yourself as God made you – very special and uniquely wonderful. This is a book about Ubuntu in everyday life, a gift from South Africa to the rest of the world.
Couples preparing for marriage should use this as a text book. People in business should regularly consult it. Families should not be without it. In fact, if you don’t own your own personal copy, you had better get on with it.
So I Told Myself
Have you ever wondered why it is that some quite obvious things are sometimes so impossible to achieve? Why is it that some people can change their lives around with apparently no more than a decision one day, while others of us battle with the same demons, the same invisible chains holding us back year after year?
It is probably your own self-talk, the silent “internal monologue” that convinces you that you will never be good enough, that you will never be able to achieve what others can.
If you have had negative messages about yourself from your childhood, or from colleagues or ‘friends’; if you have had to deal with the kind of lies about yourself implied in all kinds of discrimination, then this is a book that will help you.
When we buy into the hurtful opinions of others, we forget that God made us uniquely loveable and very wonderful. There’s no help to be had in believing you are less than God made you just because someone has said so!. This is a first-aid book for you - do the exercises honestly.
You will be pleased that you did.
