About the Author

Author Donna Partow is no stranger to the tugs and pulls of life. Her books are born out of a need to evaluate and organize one's priorities, offering practical advice to her readers. Her books How to Work With the One You Love, and No More Lone Ranger Moms were met with overwhelming success and they demonstrate Donna's personal discovery of the need for a network of others around her to support her in the challenges of life.

Another of Donna's books has been a top-seller for nearly three years. Becoming A Vessel God Can Use, is a ten-week study which explores what God is capable of doing through us if we are willing. Using biblical and contemporary examples, including Donna's personal journey from drug dealer to Christian communicator, this book depicts all too well that we are full of God-given potential, we just need to let God work through us.

Her newest book, Walking in Total God-Confidence, is a second ten-week study for churches or bible groups that employs the same winning formula Becoming a Vessel God Can Use. Founded in scripture and filled with inspirational examples, this book introduces readers to the concept of "God-confidence," the unique assurance that God can do what he wants through whomever He chooses.

This review is from: How to Work with the One You Love--And Live to Tell about It (Paperback)

A really good book if you like going to therapy. Had some good points to keep in mind and ideas to try out, but unless partner is willing to partake in the reflection and discussion part, not very effective.
