1.0 out of 5 stars Very Religious, March 26, 2008

By	Melissa Woodruff (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I haven't finished this book yet, but don't know if I will. It may have some good advice, but I don't know if I can get past all of the religious references in order to find it. If you are not a religious person (and particularly if you are not Christian!), this is not the right book for you. It was NOT clear to me at all that this book was so focused on God and Christianity. If you are Christian, you might like it; I am just annoyed that this was not made clear (I don't even think it was mentioned) in the book's description. (Note: If I had read the first reviewer's comments more closely, I would've seen some references to God, so perhaps this was my fault for not reading everything more closely, but I usually don't have time to absorb every word in a long review!)

Again, the book may have some good information on the topic that was advertised (women working from home), so I feel bad giving it only 1 star. But I just don't think the advertising and description of the book are accurate or complete and wanted to make sure future purchasers are aware of this before they buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, July 10, 2008

By	L. Steward (Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an incredible book which simply lays out all the steps for working from home. Whitwer brings up many hurdles women might face that you might not normally think of. Best of all, Whitwer approaches each topic in her book from the perspective of putting God first and getting your priorities straight. She gives a very realistic picture of preparing, transitioning, and working from home. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, April 6, 2008

By	BookBargainsandPreviews.com "www.bookbargains... (New York) - See all my reviews

This has to be one of the best books I've ever read on beginning and running a home-based business...and I've read plenty. Author Glynnis Whitwer packs this book full of information that is useful to the newbie as well as the seasoned home-based business owner. Her chapters include such helpful topics as understanding your call to work at home, realities of working at home, the real cost of work, creating a transition plan and a business plan, balancing work and home and setting up a home office. Plus she offers practical tips on time management and different home-based business opportunities.

I've worked at home for over 10 years now and I still found new ideas in this book that I could implement to help improve my business.

Work @ Home is a one-stop-shop of advice and tips for women who want to work at home. I highly recommend it!
