Review:I bought this book because I thought the author was a Christian, and Amazon categorized it as Christian. I was hoping for some references to scripture along with some suggestions to get my house into better order. I have only read the first chapter, and I do like her writing style, but would NEVER have bought the book if I actually knew what to expect. My major issue is with the dedication. It is wonderful that she honors her mom, but she uses the phrase "you are my idol". I don't think a book m... Read more

Review:I love Emily's vulnerability & her practical wisdom that she shares in this book. I'm not a mom, but I am a business owner and I related so much of what she talks about in regards to the expectations that we place on ourselves. It was an easy read & I loved the photos that were included. Read more

Review:This book gives practical tools for dealing/coping with our fast paced, complex lives. Pema explains the fundamental aspects of being human and how we want to grasp for security and groundedness in a world and our own lives, that are always changing, fluid and unpredictable.

Review:Where have the last couple of generations gone wrong? It has been in moving away from sound Biblical doctrine and adopting worldly "feel-good" forms of discipline (time-outs), positive affirmation, and blaming others (he's a middle child). The Bible says, "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame." Proverbs 29:15 Hmmmmm. Do you feel ashamed when you look at your children who don't obey you and disrespect other adults? In a culture where children ... Read more

Review:I always love diving into a book that Doug writes, as it reads well, keeps me engaged, laughing, but also helps me pursue life change personally. The 7 Actions were very clear for me to learn, and hopefully apply to my own marriage! Read more

Review:Omg this book. It’s nothing but the cheaters guide to deflect and give “reason” to his/her disgusting behavior. The only thing I got out of this book is the insight my cheating a** husband of 20 years has been refusing me. Read more
