5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for Military wives, March 16, 2007

This review is from: Hope for the Home Front: Winning the Emotional and Spiritual Battles of a Military Wife (Paperback)

Marshele gives such insight and hope with this book. She has been there and it shows. I had so many "yep, that's exactly right" moments while reading. There are so few books for military wives written from a Christian perspective that it is refreshing. Our life group for military spouses at our church is reading it now. I would highly recommend it and the Bible study also. You won't be disappointed!

My son recently joined the Army so I purchased this book for his wife. It is well written with practical applications for military families. I think any military family, whether newly enlisted or experienced, would benefit by reading this book.

I never take the time to write a review, but this book is well worth it. I am moved to tears every time I open this book. It is a constant reminder of God's unfailing love, and also a reminder to loosen our grip on earthly things. Fantastically written, and a great read for any military wife, or family member of any kind for that matter. I just bought one for my mother-in-law, a mother to three military sons. Thank you for this book!
