Product Description

Caught off guard, surprised by their own reactions, emotions bubble up that women fight to smother. Where did that come from? What can I do with this feeling that won't go away? Why do I feel and act this way?

Counselor Marilyn Meberg has been there too. When she got pregnant, she got scared. When her baby girl died, she got angry. When her husband died, she battled loneliness and sorrow. In between the peaks and valleys, Marilyn began to see a pattern that led to a greater understanding of herself and a richer happiness in life.

She says, "We crave connection with the ones we love most, and when our bond with them is broken, damaged, or threatened, we fear being left. We fear abandonment."

Love Me, Never Leave Me tells you that desiring a love that never leaves is natural, that there are ways to turn feelings of being abandoned into experiences of emotional abundance, and to know that you are God's beloved child-and he will never leave you or forsake you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right On Target, May 27, 2008

By	Cheri D. (OH) - See all my reviews

I first saw M.M. in the lobby of the Hyatt in Columbus this year. I didn't know who she was- but my sister did. So, as any mature, 44 yr. old woman would do, she walked right up to her, tapped her on the shoulder and said "I know who you are",and walked away smiling. I saw Ms. Meberg several times more over the next two days and really felt drawn by her speaking style so much so that I bought her book. Recently I had my vehicle serviced and took this book to read while I waited. OMG! I cried and then I laughed. If anyone was watching they probably would have thought I suffered a bipolar disorder. I found myself in Mary Graham. I laughed so hard at Lucy and the shower curtain. Cried over Beth in the isolette. I learned the distinction between being left & being abandoned. I was overwhelmed. The words of this book reach right up and bring recognition and balm to where you've been hurting and maybe didn't even realize. I couldn't put it down so much so that when they forgot to come and tell me my car was ready - 3 hrs later- I had just finished underlining/marking notes. I definately recommend LOVE ME NEVER LEAVE ME and will give it many times over as a gift to my friends just as Ms. Meberg has unveiled her heart and given this gift to all of us.

3.0 out of 5 stars memoir, February 10, 2009

I was excited to get this book ever since I saw Marilynn at the WOF conference, but I was disappointed when I got the book. It read a bit like a memoir. And although I liked her stories, it wasn't helpful reading for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it for every woman's reading list!, July 6, 2008

By	Terri L. Hastings - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Marilyn's open and honest personal illustrations make this book not only palatable, but somewhat humerous! All of us have found ourselves in vulnerable and painful situations. Her practical advice points us to the only way out of the pit...Jesus Christ!
