5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh until you cry, June 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: I Used to Have Answers, Now I Have Kids (Paperback)
These 43 short stories had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face. Phil Callaway is an award-winning humorist whose goal isn't just to make us laugh but to make us learn about the things that really matter. From the early daze of parenthood to the mischief of toddlerhood and the white knuckles of the teenage years, these stories of laughter and hope remind us that at the worst of times, the best is coming. When we listen to our children and remember the children we used to be, we'll never be short on laughter. Callaway believes one four letter word we should use more around the house is HOPE. This book is full of it. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Best-selling author Max Lucado says, "Need a shot of sunlight on a cloudy day? This book's for you. Need a whisper of God's love in a noisy life? You'll hear it as you turn these pages." I'd recommend buying six copies of this one for birthday and Christmas gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drop-dead Funny Stuff on Kids, April 3, 2003
By 
Orel Harper (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Used to Have Answers, Now I Have Kids (Paperback)
I can't look at this title without grinning and I can't pick this book up and read a paragraph without laughing. If you have kids or grandchildren or you just know some kids, you'll love this. Max Lucado is one of a dozen popular authors and singers who has endorsed this and it's been recommended by Focus on the Family as well. Rumor is James Dobson almost drove off the road laughing while listening to a tape of Phil Callaway speaking, so that's good enough for me. The book contains 44 short hilarious stories, that don't just make you laugh, they make you think. I found myself hugging my kids more often, and even helping out around the home. This book is a huge blessing!

This review is from: I Used to Have Answers, Now I Have Kids (Paperback)
Callaway undeniably has a gift for humor -- but more importantly he uses it to communicate serious life lessons. Anyone can spin a funny tale of child-rearing gone awry -- but Callaway takes that story and use it to drive home a powerful and memorable lesson.

I love it when an author makes me laugh and think at the same time. Callaway has the knack.
