review 1: I leaned a lot from this book. At first I wasn't excited about it but pushed myself to keep reading since it was for my bookclub at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have never had serious issues with my in-laws until just the past 4 months when my insecurities have caused me to feel like quite the outcast so this book was heaven sent at this time for me. it includes some sound rules to live by when dealing with other adults, particularly in-laws. it also illustrates those ideas with comprehendable examples. I started taking notes on the best things I leaned towards the end. here are my notes with the page numbers afterwards: "Good relationships are umbrellas in the storms of life." 196Good in-law relationships "is the way to genuine peace; it is tr... moreue Christ-like living." 199Compassion: "lovingly offer help without trying to own their problems, and wrap your heart around them when they hurt." 199"...fret and worry aren't good friends with faith." 216 pray with faith AND don't pray amiss. 206 trust the Lord and be happy with what you have. 216 have faith in the goodness of others. "God puts a lot of good people on our earthly team." 216. "Nobody knows what lies ahead in life and that's why it is so important to have faith." 223. When people feel love from someone it opens them up to feel the love of God.225. Mixing, like in chemestry or a recipe, faith (in God and those we love) with respect and patience to get a result of love and joy. People will rise to the occasion when they don't have someone babying them, providing the steps for them. Respect Curtis and have faith in him that he will come back to God, having patience in the process, and turn to God especially when I seem to weak to do it on my own.228. Take your problems to God 229. God has many angels in action just for me.229. "The obstacles in front of you are never as great as the power behind you."229. "A grateful mind is a happy mind."233. Simply enjoy the time my in-laws invite my kids over and not complain that they don't get more like the other cousins. Expressing love and graditude, not whinny that it wasn't fair.235. The mom empathizes without giving advice "that has got to be hard" and doesn't try to solve the problem or even let it bring her down. She is just there for her and can be there since she isn't weighed down with others problems. She has faith in their ability to solve their own. The daughter already feels better and the wheels are probably already turning as to what to do next. She feels stronger after feeling that umbrella of family's support over her.236-238. "Family life needs to be so good that we want it to go on forever." It is in my power to create that kind of love. Graditude plays a huge role. It isn't about me;its about them. Help them, compliment, and be grateful for what they do.243
review 2: Being that I am an in-law and I also have in-laws, I found the advise in this book interesting and at times useful if not needed. The Lundbergs do a pretty nice job of presenting the information and it reads like a story somewhat, so it kept my interest. I have to thank Janice Tate for sending it to me out of the blue. I don't know if she thought I needed it or if she thought she borrowed it from me, but thanks Janice. less
