“Without Regret has been a powerful reminder to me that I have a choice when it comes to regret and that no one can make me feel regret. In addition, Michael’s disciplines of Forming, Performing, and Transforming provided me with a practical approach to transform regret into a potential-filled experience. I am eager to carve out time to apply these disciplines.”

“Having experienced regret and yet not living with regret is such a difficult difference to discover that most of us can never distinguish the two. The difference is not found in philosophical soliloquy but in practical steps as Dr. Godfrey lays out so clearly, concisely, and convincingly. After reading Michael’s Without Regret I can confidently say that I know the difference of experiencing regret yet not living with regret, and I am now living ‘without regret.’”
“Having known Michael Godfrey both personally and professionally, I can attest first hand to the fact that the principles and wisdom set forth in Without Regret work.

“I consider Michael a dear friend and mentor. His wisdom and perspective have helped change my leadership skills and allowed me to grow both professionally and spiritually. I was moved while reading Without Regret by the concept that “regret is your choice.” Grasping the truth of that statement opened up my mind to the principle that I have a lot more power over regret than regret has power over me!”
“I have worked with Michael on a church staff, and enjoyed many conversations with him about life and work. Without Regret captures the wisdom of his personal spiritual journey. Michael has clearly discovered many gems along the ups and downs of his path, and he does an excellent job of offering these to the reader. This book will be of great help to those who find themselves second-guessing life while it continues to go by.”
“In my work as a licensed professional counselor, I have met with many individuals who are living in the pain of their own poor choices. Some people can struggle against this pain for years, due to a lack of understanding about how to move forward. In his book, Without Regret, Michael Godfrey lays out a framework for people to use as a way of addressing their regrets and making the necessary adjustments to live life more fully and more authentically. Each chapter also offers the opportunity to integrate matters of faith and spirituality into the transformation process. I found Dr. Godfrey’s book to be both insightful and practical for those seeking resolution in moving past the pain of past regrets.”
“In our present age, we all too often feel adrift, helpless to resist the waves of life and where those currents may take us. Dr. Godfrey’s Without Regret sounds the horn that by changing our perspective we may chart a course and voyage to a destination of God’s choosing.”
“In this easy to read book, Michael Godfrey takes a complex issue and disassembles it into smaller, more manageable pieces.

He walks alongside the reader as an experienced and reliable guide from the very first page onward. Here, Dr. Godfrey extends a helping hand. Pick up the book and grasp it.”
“In Without Regret, Michael Godfrey has taken on a topic or, more precisely, an emotion familiar to almost everyone, but that few have the knowledge, skills or understanding with which to successfully cope. This book convinced me to reassess my own emotional and spiritual maturity and to take an introspective look at how I deal with regret. Importantly, Without Regret does not offer some new ‘pop psychology’ mantra or questionable self-help methods; rather, the book provides some clear, concise and time-tested tools for use in living a life without regret. Yes, it can be done!! Thank you, Dr. Godfrey, for providing a work that encouraged and inspired this reader to adjust my own beliefs about regret and, in so doing, to make a conscious decision to live a life full of joy as I press on toward the goal. God bless!”
