Non-Christian but amazed!
Despite my recoiling against his religious basis, and my discomfort at what I see as his mis-attribution of what are clearly scientific causes to "god and the bible" -- I found his book to be absolutely *excellent*, and I recommend it eagerly to everyone I know. Despite having studied and read and counseled many women and couples, my eyes were opened when Eggerichs presented the unfound key to ...

Should be required reading.
I was never much on self-help books. This one was recommended to me by a close friend during a time when my marriage was in trouble. It was a great benefit to both my wife and myself. It should be required reading for anyone in a serious relationship, especially those contemplating marriage or married.

Amazingly Entertaining
This book is not a how-to book, like some of my friends thought upon seeing me with it. What this book is, is an entertaining story of a man's journey in this community. He is a guy that many an average man can relate to, and learn from along the way. He shares his story while imparting some lessons along the way. Not to mention, it was very humorous!

didn't want to put it down
This book was extremely entertaining, but at the same time disturbing and incredulous. It is particularly relevant now with the raid on the FLDS compound in Texas (the same one from the book, they have moved). Reading it, I found it hard to believe that there are people living that way in modern times in the U.S. Even more difficult to understand is why she didn't escape much earlier. These ...

Totally Mesmerizing
While I have read books by other wives who've left the FLDS, this one was different in that it was the story of the 14 year old who brought down Warren Jeffs. Though this storyline doesn't happen until the latter part of the book, you feel the tension and stress that she was put under to do what the "prophet" told her to do. There was no choice in the matter and as much as she said she wasn't ...

Repairing Your Relationship (and Your Childhood)
Before counselor Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. teaches you how to improve your relationship, he asks you to think about why you were attracted to your partner in the first place. The answer, he explains, is that you were looking for a mate who possesses the same basic qualities as your parents. Why? Because people subconsciously seek relationships with those who will exorcise their childhood pain. ...

Great Informative and Realistic book
This book provides a scientific guide to helping your child sleeps. I like it because if offers guidelines, solutions, and a practical outline of what the average child needs.

I can't let any of my friends see this book
If any of my friends see this book, they want to "borrow" it and I'll never get it back--it's great, timely and appropriate for most of my baby-boomer friends. It would make a great gift for a sister or girlfriend.

A MUST for All Relationships
This is a "wow" book! For once, as a man, I felt understood. Women will say, "Men! They just don't get it". But, there's a lot about men that women don't get. This book will enlighten all women in a way that men often times find difficult to explain. This book will give women a very good understanding of how men tick and why they act the way they do. Armed with this information and acting upon ...

Great book!
This book gave me some great suggestions and reinforced some things I was already doing. Personally, I find the cry it out method to be mean, so I was looking for another solution. If you feel the same way, get this book. It will help and has many suggestions depending on what's right for your family.

"But you know the heart: every night it grows a thorn."
The 1950s are looked upon with some nostalgia, America's innocent days before the turbulence of the 60s. But for those who lived through them, the 1950s were defined by the end of a world war, the Korean conflict, nearing a close in 1953, mothers anguishing over broken children felled by polio, the execution of the Rosenburg's, and rigid social conventions, the country struggling, as ever, ...
The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Alison Weir
Grove Press

Impressive book, riveting story
What I liked most about this book is also what since distresses me most about films circulating on this topic. Weir so thoroughly researches the profusion of biographic material available (besides Britain, courts throughout Europe had documention on the wives of Henry and him) that it is clear there is no need to fictionalise this fascinating story (you wouldn't even try to imagine it). And ...

They have shared their invaluable knowledge and experiences gained from their personal and professional lives. After raising eight children they present many different approaches to everyday tasks and focus on how to make those tasks bonding experiences. I think the book ...
