review 1: There are so many positive reviews on here, it seems that this book has really helped a lot of women. My advice is, use discernment when reading this. Read your bible, talk with other Christians, pray over each lesson and seek Gods will in your life. This book may not be right for everyone, or particular lessons may not apply to you. I had to stop reading this book. Readers of this book should be cautious. I trusted this book at first and really started applying the lessons taught in my life. I ended up carrying around a lot of guilt, and had to consult with my pastor. For me, many lessons taught did not apply to my situation, but i was reading that this is what I ought to do and this is this Christian thing to do. I felt reprimanded for sharing anything with my dep... moreloyed husband. They talked a lot about supporting other Christians, and I ended up in an unhealthy Christian friendship that sucked me dry. Ultimately, after speaking with my pastor, and my husband approaching me because I was no longer being open with him and it was negatively impacting our relationship- I had to stop reading the book. I would not reccomend this book ever to a friend. There are a many devotionals that will make such a more positive difference in your life, although they may not be deployment specific.
review 2: This was a Christmas gift from one of the wives in my family support group (although I will admit I opened my gift early because I had a sneaking suspicion it was exactly what I needed at the time, and it was!!!!) Probably one of the best books written for military wives that I have ever read. It is a day-by-day devotional, and each day usually hits me right between the eyes with something I personally have faced as a military spouse. So good to know I'm not in this alone! One of the contributors to this book, Denise McColl, was a friend of mine back in Charleston. Denise died suddenly last spring, so for me this was an added blessing of being given this book. It was a sweet reminder of Denise and her desire to be a friend and mentor to other women. less
