5.0 out of 5 stars Biblical Guidance For Any Relationship, June 13, 2003

TDYEarth (Barstow, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of a Godly Grandparent: Leaving a Spiritual Legacy (Paperback)

First of all, I am not a Grandparent. The title of this book will limit the market that might purchase it and gain from its contents. This book will guide you in how to be a Godly person, whether or not you are a niece, nephew, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, husband, wife, mother, father, In-Law, boss, employee and yes, even a Grandparent. This book flows smoothly, is very readable and an awesome journey to read. The Biblical insight is a recipe for all relationships. I highly recommend it.
