I have been separated from my spouse for 3 1/2 years. This book blesses me so much. I've cried while reading it, because it ministers strength and answers many questions beginning with Why. It also helps you to realize that just because the husband is gone, does not mean you have no husband. He is a father to the fatherless -PSALM 68:5. Isaiah 54:5 says For Thy Maker is thy husband. I am learning to depend upon him to help me raise my 4 children, because I cannot do it alone and this book has blessed me with Strength - highly recommended!!!!

This gave me a better understanding of being a single parent and helping my children adjust to a one parent household and to be more receptive to their needs

This is a wonderful book for anyone raising kids. I recommend it to anyone who has kids, married or not, or who plan to have kids. Thank you Bishop Jakes for this wonderful book. It has helped me more than I can express!

When I started to read this book, I said to myself let me keep an open mind. Well, I was sure glad I did. Bishop Jakes cover every aspect of anyone who is standing alone in raising their child alone. He took a close look at our parenting skills and said "Let us ask God to enter into this task of raising our children. Thank You Bishop Jakes for shouting with spiritual love, I am not alone.

I recommend to book to everyone single or married. I brought this book to give to my daughters, but read I it first and learned alot, which will help me to encourage my daugters with their own children.

This is a good book but it's not so much for the single mom who did not marry the child's father

This was a great book. At first I was like my kids are too old, no point in reading it now. My girls are 16 and 10, this book was so on point, and no it was not too late. It gave me affirmation in some areas and corrected me in others. It not only gave me strength but reminded me of where that strength comes from. It also brought me to tears because I'm currently struggling with my 16 yr old and I had come up how I was going to handle it. I had been praying about it and was extremely conflicted. I turned the page and there was the answer to my question. I was speechless and overwhelmed. The Lord really spoke to me through the words in this book. I wanted to reach out in some way to thank Mr. Jakes for writing this.

We've worked with single parents --- single moms and single dads --- for more than twenty years. This new book by T.D. Jakes is one of the best resources we've seen for single parents, or for those who are "functionally single" such as military wives whose husbands are on long or extended deployments.

Bishop Jakes is a wonderful author and speaker. His stories get right to the point and show you how to move forward with confidence and hope, even if you're the only parent your children have. You and God can do it!

Be encouraged today: you and God can raise great kids!

I'll just include a direct quote from this book, and let you draw your own conclusions about whether or not you want to read the rest of it:

"Marriage was sealed by the breaking of the hymen. The bloody sheet was proof positive that they had consummated the marriage and that the bond was predicated upon the blood itself. What a bond!....The young girl shed her blood on the wedding night. The young man shed his blood in circumcision. He gave his blood to the Lord. His wife gave her blood to him, and both of them were covered."

This book has been such a help to me. TD Jakes is definitely a spirit filled man. I would recommend this book to any woman who is worried about Gods will for her family, as a single woman.
