Review
"This book helped me immensely in my relationship with my daughters-in-law." -- Nancy Harrell, small group participant

"This book illustrates the truth that a harmonious relationship takes effort on both sides. I loved it!" -- Susan G. Baker, wife of former Secretary of State James A. Baker and mother-in-law of 6

"This course provided insights into a relationship that is inherently strained at best. Thank you for hope!" -- Jane Elwood, small group participant

Product Description
Every woman has at least one thing in common with her mother-in-law--they both love the same man. But this relationship can be one of the most challenging aspects of marriage. A Change of Heart was designed for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who want to improve and strengthen their relationships.

Appropriate for personal study or for use in small groups, this book offers a personality questionnaire to help you "look in the mirror" for insight into your own traits and temperament, an engaging story that illustrates the adjustments a woman must make as she becomes part of another family, and a study guide filled with exercises, readings and practical ideas to promote healing in your relationship, even if the situations and people around you don't change.

If you've ever felt misunderstood, experienced feelings of bitterness or resentment, if you long to become a more fair, forgiving and compassionate woman, open this book and be prepared for A Change of Heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must read" for the wife struggling with her in-law., May 30, 2003

By	SALLY GAINES - See all my reviews

This book is too late for me but I would give anything if I'd had
availble to me, at the time, a book as sensitive as this one.
The insights are straightforward and revealing of both sides of the issue. Written from the Christian perspective it offers a
lot of tools for the possibility of change.
I would recomend it highly to the young wife confronted with
what seems to be an insurmountable problem.
Even without a mother-in-law today, I am reminded that in any
troubling relationship, there are two sides to be considered.
These three authors have done a masterful job with
the subject. It will make a good 8 week study course.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Change of Heart by Andrea Evans, et al, April 28, 2003

By	Laura Abell (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, and would also work well as a small group study. I found the personality test useful in helping me to understand my strengths and weaknesses. This information also shed light on the differences in temperament and personality between me and my mother-in-law. The story portrayed in the journal helped by giving examples I could relate to, and the Bible Study was great. I highly recommend this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Surprised at the bible based nature of the book., December 1, 2003

By	Barbara (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan) - See all my reviews

I was quite surprised to find this book based very strongly on the study of the bible. A good portion of the book was a bible study program.

This was not at all what I was looking for, and I returned the book. It may suit the needs of some people, but the buyer should be aware of the religious nature of the content of the book.
