Focus on the Family Pub, 1987
A must for those seeking spiritual challenge
An outstanding read. The book is really a series of stories of "unlikely" lives that were made available for God's work. Be prepared to want to put your life on the line for God if you read this book. It's a fast read about real people who were used to change the world. You'll want to pass this one along to friends and family.

This wonderful guide covers every aspect of babysitting
This truly is the ultimate guide for baby-sitters. I have read everything I can get my hands on that covers this subject and this is the only book I personally recommend. It is extremely comprehensive and well researched. I am a former firefighter, paramedic and also a father of 4 young children. I created a safe baby-sitting program in the fire service that has trained hundreds of children to ...

Ruth Bell Graham
Focus on the Family Pub, 1991
A great encouraging book to give away.
I have had this book in my library for years and it is a great source of encouragment. Mrs. Graham's insightful way of sharing her heart with others fans the flame of hope. This "my" book to give to other whose children are "in the far country."

Imagination and emotions are ignited
This book of short stories has the reader rolling with laughter on one page and crying crocodile tears on the next. One cannot help but examine his or her own walk in life after reading this lovely group of tales. It is a reminder that God fills our lives with much humor, awesome color, amazing miracles, and sometimes brings us through unbearable pain. This is excellent and uplifting. It ...

I did not just read this book, I applied it.
When my son was about 22 years old, we had a big disagreement where I gave him three months to find a place and move out of the house. I did not want to do this, but I had to use tough love for his own good, so that he could learn to take responsibility and meet his commitments when he has his own family. It was very difficult to implement this decision especially for my wife. I wanted to ...
Taming the Money Monster: Five Steps to Conquering Debt
3 reviews
Ron Blue
Focus on the Family Pub, 1998
Highly recommended - Should be required reading
I highly recommend this book. It really should be required reading, especially for couples before marriage and young people in general. While it does contain a chapter on how to get out of debt, even those who are not in debt would benefit greatly from the understanding they would gain about credit and debt. Mr. Blue discusses "the magic of compounding interest" and how it can work for or ...

A Fun Book For Kids
I picked up this book about 5 years ago and read it to my oldest son who was 7 years-old at the time. He loved it. It went back on the shelf and I just finished reading it to my middle son who recently turned 7. He also loved it and begged me to read him a chapter each night. I couldn't disagree more strongly with the Horn Book review of this work. Maybe it is a little politically ...
Echoes of His Presence

Judith Markham
Focus on the Family Pub, 1996
An eye opener into the culture of Jesus' time
This book paints a picture of the multi-faceted culture in which Jesus lived. It's a wonderful, God-honoring book which helps us to better understand His life because it demonstrates the political, familial, societal and religious background that we miss not having lived in that culture. Mr. Vander Laan draws parallels in story form of Jesus in various roles, such as the Rabbi, the Teacher, ...

"Odyssey" is adventure!
My kids loved this book, and love listening to this series on the radio. It's great fun and I enjoy it too!

Every Child Can Succeed: Making the Most of Your Child's Learning Style

Cynthia Ulrich Tobias
Focus on the Family Pub, 1996
Learning the way it was meant to be!
Cynthia has truly put effort, research and emotional content into producing a text that should be required reading for every new teacher, administrator and counselor! A remarkable work that brings the focus on to the positives and strengths of the child, instead of hammering away at behavior patterns that are looked upon as correctable.

How to Deal With Powerful Personalities
It was a very helpful and insightful book, as I have just gone through a painful situation dealing with a very controlling and manipulative person. After reading the book, I have a better idea on how to handle this person from a Biblical perspective.

A wonderful look at middle age and it's foibles.
It was so helpful to learn that I'm not alone in this 'middle age' thing. I'm normal afterall. She made me take a light hearted but honest look at what I cannot change and helped me to relax and enjoy where I am at this particular stage in my life.

Required reading for anyone who uses credit cards
The book should be required reading for anyone who uses credit cards (especially those who don't pay them off each month.) As someone whose "been there" Mary Hunt gives practical suggestions about how to work your way out of debt--and love the person you become as you do. The book has good tips for us all. Bravo!

If you are a parent, you MUST read this book!
This review appeared previously in Christian Library Journal (January 1997). Steering Them Straight is subtitled A Parental Plan for Guiding Today's Youth Through the Temptations of Premarital Sex, Eating Disorders, Pornography, Suicide, Satanism, and Substance Abuse. Many parents will find themselves out of their comfort zones while reading this book. It is thorough in its examination of ...

2 reviews
Focus on the Family Pub, 1995
Recommended for both strong and struggling marriages.
There are many authors who discuss their theories on what makes a strong, healthy marriage. What I especially like about "The Triumphant Marriage" is that Neil Clark Warren went directly to the "real" experts -- 100 very successful couples -- and asked them what made their marriage triumphant. The top 10 secrets each have their own chapter with practical suggestions of how to improve your ...
