Parenting & Relationships
Review:I have been dealing with an adult niece (daughter of my deceased brother) for 2 years now. Unbeknownst to me, I had become an enabler to her on and off drug use and in general. This book spoke straight to me--gave me so much insight about how to deal with her from this point on. Highly recommend to anyone whose heart is breaking after trying to "help" your dysfunctional adult children!! Read more
Review:Muy buen libro,vale la pena. Solo que deben tener en cuenta y es de la corriente psicologica-cristiana y se basa en la Biblia,para aquellos que lo vayan a comprar,deben saber esto ,pues no lo especifica en las carasteristicas del libro. Read more
Review:This book is and an easy read. Following Mr. Goolrick's journey it is hard to understand how someone can heal from the horrific trials of a wounded childhood; yet bringing the secrets out of their hiding places begins the process of healing. Hopefully, many other survivors of 'painful parenting' will find this book and rip their own secrets wide open. Read more
Review:As a member of the target audience for this book (midway through my teenage years), I really disliked this book. I picked the book out for myself to help me improve my life/mindset, and I was very disappointed.
The Good: The book starts off okay, and Shipp's voice is likable and mildly funny. He's not too pretentious or boring. Also, some of his advice is pretty sound and it gave me a relatively new perspective on how to identify sources of problems in my life.
The Bad: Then the bo... Read more
Review:Possibly one of the most helpful books for any married man who wants a happy wife and a strong marriage. I found it when I was going through a rough time in my marriage. Although I found three truly helpful resources during this challenging period in my marriage, this book was probably the single most helpful resource of all. When I first began reading, I thought "I don't know about this". But there truly is worthy advice on every page of this book. Even if you are not having marriage trouble, t... Read more
Review:This book was recommended to me by a family friend so I was very pleased when I found it on Amazon for less then $10 including shipping. It came on time and in great condition. I enjoyed reading it very much. Dr. Laura is very direct, but I do love her perspective on life. I think this was a great read, and I will definitely order from this vendor again. Read more
Review:I've recommended to so many people. Could hardly put down. I real eye opener. I'd say a must read. I'd say it's important to read Etched in Sand first. Remarkable story of the survival and success of these siblings in spite a horrific upbringing. Read more
Review:Inspirational and comforting, this book puts into perspective the blessings of the America we live in today. We so easily complain about the struggles of today, while not recognizing the opportunities of tomorrow. The honest, clean living, hard working can, and do have more opportunities than obstacles. Those of us with "hard ass" parents need to read this book. Read more
Review:This book is okay, but I'm occasionally bothered by an underlying assumption that all boys are essentially the same. I've been around plenty long enough to watch and ponder how the men around me turned out. Where they found their place / what way of being was comfortable and right for them. There is much greater diversity in maleness than the author accounts for. Read more
Review:great book, although supposed to be just for laughs it makes very valid points about how children will be traumatized no matter what u do so since you cant avoid it you might as well do it in a way that prepares them for adulthood and continues to give examples how.... arrived promptly in amazing condition.
