Review:This is literally one of the most touching books I have read. It thought me so much.I cried chapter to chapter as if I was going through all of these things myself . I LITERALLY finished the296 pages in less than 2 days . So glad I read this. Read more

Review:One star is for the one quote in the book that for me was enlightening and memorable:

"It's the most basic, essential, beginning stories that so much of our lives are written. Who loved you best? What made you finally believe in yourself? From what garden or pot or crack in the pavement did you grow? How did you get your water?"

For me the answer to all these questions was from the unconditional and steadfast love of my mother and grandmother and my Faith. Read more

Review:I would actually give it 3 1/2 stars. This transitional time for some women and men can leave you depleted. Sometimes the changes just appear as the end of the road. Sometimes it takes something a .little more drastic to find a new path forward. Read more

Review:Ben Sasse argues convincingly that we are doing our kids a disservice when we ‘protect’ them from work. Sasse provides parents with practical advice to help make the shift from consumption to production—a great way to help our kids find lives filled with meaning and purpose.

While I wish I had read this book when my daughters were in pre-school, I'm still able to get some ideas for parenting my almost-adult teens. Read more

Review:I have never read anything by Jen Hatmaker, but Of Mess and Moxie: Wrangling Delight Out of This Wild and Glorious Life has made me a fan! Her whimsical writing style and bold honesty grabbed me from the beginning of this encouraging book.

Of Mess and Moxie doesn’t hold back as the author addresses the issues many women grapple with every day that bring on those feelings of being overwhelmed and not knowing how to juggle everything that is thrown at us. When nobody seems to understand the... Read more

Review:This book was received on time and in good condition. This was my second try at getting this rare Tepper book so I was glad to get it. My first buy was cancelled and I had to protest to get my money back. It pays to notice the buyers ratings on each seller. Read more

Review:While I admire Ms. Gay's attempt to share her journey with the reader, the book comes across as shallow and lacking genuine depth. Yes she told of the event that led to her lifelong battle but where is the inner work? Perhaps I missed it because I stopped reading. Ms. Gay if you haven't done so please consider therapy. Please fight for the 12 year old girl who so desperately needs healing. From what I read the 12 year old is not only traumatized from the actual event but she now carries the guil... Read more

Review:Book arrived quickly and was in condition as promised. In general, the book isn't really helpful to me, as I find it focuses on women who were raised by alcoholic parents and that is not my situation. However, there were points in it that I found insightful and gave me reason to think and consider. Read more
