Michael Leahy
Northfield Publishing, 2008
A Must Read
Incredible! I just finished reading Porn Nation. Michael Leahy did an awesome job. The book is well written ... it flows great, he is honest and vulnerable ... yet he doesn't mince words ... he tells it like it is.
Porn Nation is the story of one man's battle against pornography and the tremendous toll that it took on him, his wife and his children. He lost everything - his marriage, his ...

The Five Love Languages for Singles (Chapman, Gary)30 reviews
Gary Chapman
Northfield Publishing, 2004
Not just for "Romantic Relationships"
The title of the book is a little misleading. When the group I am in started studying this book, I thought it was going to be a waste of time for me because I am not in a relationship. Well, was I ever wrong!!! If you have a parent, family member, co-worker, friend, or just even know anyone---then you have a relationship. This book gives wonderful insight into understanding those around you ...

The Love Languages of God: How to Feel and Reflect Divine Love
This was a great read! I originally purchased the book because of a book club at my church. This was our first book reading and we all enjoyed reading it. When we came together to talk about it, we realized how much we all loved GOD but we just showed it in a different way.
It also helped us to be open to how others worship. I've been talking about this book ever since! GOD's love is the first ...

All parents of Teenagers should read this!
I am a probation officer that teaches a parenting class for parents of strong-willed or out-of-control teenagers. I personally believe in this book so much that I purchase them, out-of-pocket, to give to parents who have perfect attendance in my class. This book has helped them not only with their teenagers, but also with all their relationships.

A great method to get your finances under control!
I bought this book several years ago and since then my financial and spiritual life has changed dramatically. I found that once I looked at my finances as a spiritual matter, I was able to gain control of them as an act of obedience to Christ. The workbook is a great first step toward financial discipline. Budgeting and sticking to your budget is key. Once you live on a budget, you will ...

Splitting Heirs: Giving Money & Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives5 reviews
Ron Blue, Jeremy White
Northfield Publishing, 2004
Best book I've read about true wealth
This book can be read in a night but contains wisdom for a lifetime. Expecting another book about estate planning, I was pleased to find only the essential data needed to introduce the subject and the bulk of the content about thoughtfully (and prayerfully) making the six decisions about wealth transfer. This is the first book I have read by Ron Blue but I suspect it is one of his best. ...

Hope comes in the form of a book
I've been waiting for(needing)this book for years and years. Being involved in relationships where apologies were rare, and from parents who never did, this book will change the way I approach my future relationships. This, paired with the Five Love Languages, is a must read. Too bad they don't teach this kind of stuff in High School. This pair of books would be a perfect graduation or wedding ...

Great book for fathers-to-be!
This book has two very good strengths, especially for soon to-be dads. One, it stresses the importance of objectively evaluating the effect of your own dad on you. Two, it gives an insightful review of the developmental stages of children.

Five Signs of a Loving Family6 reviews

Intimacy in Marriage
The three chapters about Intimacy are probably the best in the book. It defines what intimacy is: Being able to look into another person and allowing the other person to look into your soul, without being judgemental or critical. It describes several kinds of intimacy: Intelectual, social, spiritual and sexual. These are the bonds that mantain a marriage together. The book has a section with ...

Finally, A Book About Those Difficult Marital Problems
What happens when a woman chooses to remain in a marriage involving verbal abuse or even unfaithfulness--for the sake of her children? Most books write her off as co-dependent and offer no direction. Yet with recent information from Wallerstein's study, we have come to realize that children are often better off raised in such environments than if parents were divorced. And some are willing to ...

Love Talks for Couples (Lovetalks Flip Books)3 reviews
Gary Chapman, Ramon Presson
Northfield Publishing, 2002
Great Starting Place
This book is an awesome way to spark discussion with your mate and to find out things you may not know. It is not intended to be comprehensive but just a "fun" thing to do to get to know each other better. We have enjoyed the book very much and give it often as a gift. If you ever get the chance to see Dr Chapman speak at a marriage enrichment weekend, he is awesome.
