Great Parenting Tips!, March 25, 2007
This review is from: Moving Forward After Divorce: Practical Steps to * Healing Your Hurts * Finding Fresh Perspective * Managing Your New Life (Paperback)
As a divorced mom, single parent, mother of two --- I read a lot. This new book has already changed the way I'm parenting my boys --- who are just now emerging into their teen years. Great parenting tips! This is one of the most positive, encouraging, "real life" books I've discovered. Extremely useful for anyone who is in their first 3-5 years after a divorce. Very well done!

Best Divorce Book Out There for Parents!, November 4, 2009
This review is from: Moving Forward After Divorce: Practical Steps to * Healing Your Hurts * Finding Fresh Perspective * Managing Your New Life (Paperback)
When I found myself suddenly [and unexpectedly] a single mom with six children, panic set in. Seriously.
I ordered quite a lot of divorce books in an effort to learn what I needed to do to survive in this strange new world I'd woken up in.
This book was by far the most helpful one. The authors shared stories of other divorced people that I could relate to. They helped me understand what was normal [and that feeling like I felt WAS, indeed, normal]. They gave very concrete and helpful advice on how to "Move Forward" - it was so positive and it really helped me pick myself up and get moving towards healing and a brand new life.
I credit this book with helping me move beyond despair and broken-heartedness and towards happiness and hope.
The constructive ideas in this book not only helped me help myself, but really helped me help my children as well - they benefitted from this book at least as much as I did. Quite a lot of this book is devoted to helping divorced people who are also parents, and I found that extremely beneficial.
For someone going through a divorce who does not have children, this book may not be as helpful - quite a bit of it really is focused on parenting well through divorce. This book is also written from a strong Christian perspective and may not be helpful to those who are not from a Christian belief system.
But for newly single Christian parents - you can't find a better book. Buy this book - you won't be sorry. In fact, I'd really like to thank the authors - you changed my life for the better with this truly helpful book. You helped me survive the worst time in my life and to move forward and thrive. Thank you so much.

Moving forward After Divorce, January 6, 2009
This review is from: Moving Forward After Divorce: Practical Steps to * Healing Your Hurts * Finding Fresh Perspective * Managing Your New Life (Paperback)
I thought that this book was extremely helpful. There were tips and encouraging words that could only be helpful to people who lived through a divorce and were having a tough time dealing with the aftermath. My wish would be that BOTH parents would read this book. It would only help the ex-couple and their children. Good Job!
