5.0 out of 5 stars Walt Wangerin teaches valuable marriage principles., March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: As For Me And My House: Crafting Your Marriage To Last (Paperback)

Walt Wangerin's gift for story telling is demonstrated undeniably in this marvelous book on the challenges of making marriage work. His powerfully transparent autobiographical sections moved me and drew me in, setting me up for his teachable moments, which are compelling and instructive. I wept with Wangerin as he told of the grace and forgiveness afforded him by his wife, knowing full well the liberating joy of being similarly forgiven by my wife of 26 years. This text is required reading at our church for couples preparing to marry. But it may be even more meaningful reading for those of us who have a decade or two of marital experience under our belts! Read and enjoy Walt Wangerin at his best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving, Compelling, Revealing, Enriching, August 20, 1999

This review is from: As For Me And My House: Crafting Your Marriage To Last (Paperback)

I am a professional, full time marriage & family therapist, and part time pastor. I have spent a good deal of time searching for literature to suggest to my clients and members. This is it! The book is moving, compelling, revealing, and enriching all at the same time. Walter's openness and honesty in his own self revelations demonstrate for us the work of the grace of God in a Christian marriage.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use it for Pre-Cana Counseling, July 3, 2003

This review is from: As For Me And My House Crafting Your Marriage To Last (Paperback)

As a Catholic priest, I use this book for Pre-Cana (before you get married)counseling. I think it's the best I've seen, and I've recommended it to my Bishop to be used in the curriculum of our seminary. Would that people read this before they got married ~ also good as an eye opener if you are married, and for no matter how long. As the Chairman of the Board of Examining Chaplains for my diocese (who oversees academic stuff before a man is considered for ordination), I'll tell you that this book will be required reading for any man before he becomes a priest with pastoral cares.
Bravo!!!
