5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for helping with the blues after moving., January 9, 1999

This review is from: After the Boxes are Unpacked (Renewing the Heart) (Paperback)

As a wife who had to pick up and move numerous times Susan knows the pain of saying good bye and relocating to a new unfamiliar area. This book truly helped me as a military wife get through the grieving period of leaving special friends behind and coping and getting on with life in my new surroundings. I have given several copies away to people new to the area and lonely for what they left behind. Done in a Christian perspective and filled with wisdom from the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply a wonderful book!, February 25, 2002

This review is from: After the Boxes are Unpacked (Renewing the Heart) (Paperback)

My husband purchased this book for me because I was having trouble accepting an upcoming move. At first I was hesitant because, after moving so many times, what else was there for me to learn? I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a very easy read, and the author makes you feel as if she's speaking directly to you, understanding your fears and frustrations. This book can be especially helpful for someone facing their first move. And also be advised, this book is based on the Christian faith and relying on it to help you through your move. For me, it was a definite plus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for Christian relocating women, September 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: After the Boxes are Unpacked (Renewing the Heart) (Paperback)

A kind person gave this book to me as a moving gift. I did not have time to read it until I was in my new home for about a month. Feeling really blue, I picked it up one night after I got the kids to bed. I could not believe that my feelings were ok! There are many women who had relocated many more times than me who explain and acknowledge their feelings in this book. There are wonderful tips to help you get started in your new town. For me, that was just what I needed to help me through this move. There are Bible passages and quotes in it that you can choose to use or not. They are just a bonus to the personal insights written in the book. I highly recommend the book for relocating women who are trying to balance their roles and lives.
