5.0 out of 5 stars Hope for the Home Front: God's Timeless Encouragement for To, September 16, 2004

By	Barbara Cornwell "Reading military mom" (Stafford, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finally, a book that explains the emotional and spiritual aspect of being a military wife and mother. It's easy to find books about moving in the military, or what types of insurance you need, or how to use the commissary, etc. or even coping with one-time deployments and separations. This book goes beyond that. I feel like Marshele Carter Waddell spoke to me directly and to my friends whose husbands are gone many months of each and every year. I have highlighted passages over and over in her book and read it each night. The Scripture readings are wonderful and I have posted them around my house as well. I highly recommend it, for military and civilians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addresses EVERY need...., November 18, 2003

By	"rideahd" (Fort Hood, TX) - See all my reviews

This book was better than I hoped it would be! It has encouraged me so much! She uses personal experience and scripture to equip you for the challenges faced daily during deployment. It's not a pitty-party, it's encouraging and uplifting. I couldn't put it down!

If you are the wife of a deployed service member, this book is for you. It is for everyone--enlisted and officer! I LOVE this book. I'm taking it to my church's spouse's group. I'm sure they will all love it too!

5.0 out of 5 stars A faith-inspired testimony and advice guides , November 5, 2004

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Written by the devout Christian wife of two decades to a career military sailor and commissioned officer in service to America, Hope for the Home Front: God's Timeless Encouragement for Today's Military Wife is a faith-inspired testimony and advice guides for dealing with the particular trials and tribulations of spouses separated by their loved ones by vast distances and even the threat of death in service to one's country. Topics addressed include how to confront fear with faith, raising children when their father is absent for long periods of time in service to one's country, learning how to stay together when duty forces a couple to be apart so much, and more. A deeply powerful testimony that combines personal experience, trust in God's plan, and practical wisdom into a heartfelt whole.
