WOW!
Unveiled: Tamar (The Lineage of Grace Series #1)
What a GREAT Book! I absolutely did not want to put it down. When I did, I was so into it that I remembered where I left off and what had been going on. While it is a "Novella" therefore considered "fiction" I found that it followed scripture, simply turning it into a detailed story. I found the book intriguing and really enjoyed the Bible Study ...

Unafraid: Mary (The Lineage of Grace Series #5) 24 reviews
Francine Rivers
Tyndale House Publishers, 2001
Some of River's Best Work
I've not read all of the Christian fiction books written by Francine Rivers, but of the dozen or so books that I have read, I believe this is her best work, not necessarily from a literary standpoint, but rather from a Christian one. UNAFRAID, which examines the life of Mary, is the last in a five part Lineage of Grace series where Rivers examines the lives of five remarkable women chosen by God ...

A Rose by the Door9 reviews
Deborah Bedford
FaithWords, 2001
Page-turner!
Thank you, Deborah Bedford for writing a book that is wholesome and interesting. I am a stay at home mom, and even though I was interrupted regularly while reading this book, I was always eager to pick it up again and find out what was going to happen next. It kept my interest and was never hard to get back into once I had put it down. The story of the roses is fascinating. This is ultimately ...

The Daughter-In-Law's Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know about Relating to Your Mother-In-Law (Women ...8 reviews
Eden Unger Bowditch, Aviva Samet
New Harbinger Publications, 2002
Thank you!
I'll admit I was skeptical when I started this book. NOTHING could help me with my mother-in-law problems! Well, this book really did! Other's stories were a comfort and helped illustrate the various pitfalls in the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship. The questionaires at the end of each chapter helped me (and my husband) sort out our feelings and pinpoint exactly what was causing the ...

The Mother-in-Law Dance: Can Two Women Love the Same Man and Still Get Along? 14 reviews
Annie Chapman
Harvest House Publishers, 2004
You Too Can Love Your Mother-in-Law
For ten years of my married life, I searched for a resource that would help me understand the dynamics of an in-law relationship. The books I found only had a paragraph or two on the in-law relationship. I needed something more substantial. I did Internet searches on how to get along with in-laws and was appalled by the hurtful words women used to describe their in-law relationships. After ...

The Daughter-In-Law: A Novel of Suspense5 reviews
Diana Diamond
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2004
This book got my attention
I can honestly tell you I am not quite an avid reader but I do like books that draw my attention. Daughter In Law's Diana Diamond creates this book for great entertainment. A book you can read anywhere no matter where. I love how she milks the story line putting you on the edge of your seat making way for a great climate of the situation and then right back down to another preparation for ...

The Daughter-in-Law Rules: 101 Surefire Ways to Manage (and Make Friends with) Your Mother-In-Law!39 reviews
Sally Shields
Outskirts Press, 2008
This Daughter-in-Laws Take on The DIL Rules
My mother-in-law is really not a typical mother-in-law. Sure she has her quirks but in general she's been pretty easy to get along with.. In that respect, The Daughter-In-Law Rules is not a "must-have" in my house. That being said, I certainly enjoyed reading it and there were plenty of times I laughed out loud because I know a few people who could learn a little something from reading it, or it ...

the heavens before
"...Annah lowered her head, crying silently. But even in her sorrow, she felt reassured. For beneath these new heavens and on this new earth, only the presence of the Most High had not changed. She could actually sense Him; He was as she remembered Him from the earth before..."
Excerpt from The Heavens Before
It is a time of violence and hatred, lust and greed, justice and destruction. ...

Laugh Out Loud Funny!!!
I picked up this book because I thought it looked like some light reading material. I started reading and found it difficult to put down when other things came up. While I was reading this book I had an almost continual smile and many times caught myself laughing out loud!!
Sharon Naylor made her characters appear very real and I found myself actually able to relate some of the characters to ...

A Case of Crooked Letters (A Morning Shade Mystery series #2) 4 reviews
Lori Copeland
Tyndale House Publishers, 2004
Fun stuff
The Morning Shade Mysteries are a chick-lit version of the Mitford series. While billed as mysteries, they're really slice-of-life books with a light, no-harm-done mystery woven through it all. Maude, who's first person narrative marks every other chapter, is a wonderful, realistic woman stuggling with money, her mother in law, and faith. Despite being in a completely different period of life, ...

The Daughters Victorious4 reviews
Shlomo Wexler
Gefen Publishing House, Ltd, 2001
A Highly Enlightening Book
I found The Daughters Victorious to be fun to read and also highly enlightening. Although I have a substantial religious education, I learned things from the book that I never knew before and I have recommended the book to numerous friends and family members. I have also passed the book on to my two (Orthodox) teenage daughters, as I believe it presents fascinating insights into what life truly ...

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW DAUGHTER-IN-LAW CONFLICT: The Exploration and Improvement of the Mother-In-Law --- ... 1 review
Dr Joseph Morris
1st Books Library, 2003
Patronising book!
I was greatly cheered when I initially started to read this book, as I felt that it may well offer insight into my mother-in-law's strange and passive agressive behaviour. But, as I read on, I discovered that a man should never try to write a book about a subject that he obviously cannot relate to. It was very black and white, not allowing for differences in personalities. I think the crunch ...

Leathers Publishing, 2005
J's Review
I read this book yesterday when I was at the beauty shop and the cover happen to catch my attention. I thought it was kind of funny at first so I picked it up and proceeded to read it and I could not put it down. By the time I finished getting my hair done I had read the whole book, it was really a great book. I have never had to deal with mother-in-law drama but if I ever do I will definitely ...

The Queen & Di: The Untold Story 26 reviews
Ingrid Seward
Arcade Publishing, 2001
God Save the Queen!
Thank you, Ms. Seward for writing a fair and reasonable book. It's gratifying to read a work that illuminates how hard our queen tried to accomodate the late Princess of Wales and what a truly lovely person she is. Elizabeth II is a great queen -- history will bear this out -- and I think we often take her far too much for granted. God bless and keep her! As a British subject currently residing ...

Great study for a Sunday school class or small group
The women's Sunday school class that I teach is enjoying this book study. It leads us into great discussion of both the Bible and current events. I love it when a study can do both!

Jan Pottker
St. Martin's Griffin, 2005
An admiring look at a formidable woman, and her son's wife
Who among us wouldn't want to have been Sara Delano Roosevelt? Adored daughter and sibling, independently wealthy through her father's success in the Chinese opium trade, married to an older man whose forebears were as securely rooted in America as her own, she became the mother of one perfect child who grew up to be Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Self-doubt was not in the emotional vocabulary of ...

Mothers-in-Law and Daughters-in-Law: Understanding the Relationship and What Makes Them Friends or Foe1 review
Deborah M. Merrill
Praeger Publishers, 2007
WELL-RESEARCHED BY AN EDUCATED PROFESSIONAL WOMAN
A perusal of published lit-reviews on MIL / DIL relationships leaves one wanting. . . this new 2007 publication is the first worthwhile read that I have encountered. . . citations of what publications exist are included in the author's text. Although the author does not indicate such, it reads like a doctoral dissertation. Highly recommended for psychotherapy professionals and those in the human ...
