25 Ways To Communicate Respect To Your Husband


25 Ways To Communicate Respect To Your Husband (a handbook for wives) by Jennifer Flanders is a small, short book with bite size chapters. The author recommends reading and focusing on one chapter per week to truly get into the habits of performing these steps to showing respect to your husband. Each short chapter includes Scriptures, quotes, and a list of "action items" that you can begin doing to actively communicate respect to your husband.

I've read Jennifer's previous book, Love Your Husband, Love Yourself and absolutely loved it. Therefore, I was thrilled that she had finally released a new book! LYHLY was a much lengthier book that went into a lot more detail about marriage, whereas this is a much shorter, briefer, and to the point guide directed solely at respect as opposed to a large treatise about marriage in general. Respect is an area I struggle with in my marriage and have trouble finding books that tangibly explain just HOW to respect your husband, not just say "you need to respect your husband because x". This is the book I've been searching for. Not only does it explain why your husband needs respect, it lays out an action plan for you to follow to communicate that respect to your husband in a way he will understand it. I highly recommend this book to all Christian wives who are seeking to uphold God's command to respect and reverence their husbands, as commanded in passages such as Ephesians 5:33. I love Mrs. Flanders' writing and hope she releases another book soon. She is full of wisdom and grace, and I love her writing style. After reading all her books and her Christmas Letters collection, I feel like she's a friend! Get this book - your husband will appreciate it!

You can purchase it here from amazon.com in either paperback ($8.96) or Kindle ($3.99): http://www.amazon.com/Ways-Communicate-Respect-Your-Husband/dp/1938945026/ref=cm_cr-mr-title. Enjoy!

I received a copy of this book from BookCrash in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Surviving Death

Surviving Death by Leslie Kean is an investigative journalist's deep dive into the afterlife and all of the current scientific studies and evidence we can examine. The back cover says: "“While exploring the evidence for an afterlife, I witnessed some unbelievable things that are not supposed to be possible in our material world. Yet they were unavoidably and undeniably real. Despite my initial doubt, I came to realize that there are still aspects of Nature which are neither understood or accepted, even though their reality has profound implications for understanding the true breadth of the human psyche and its possible continuity after death.” So begins Leslie Kean’s impeccably researched, page-turning investigation, revealing stunning and wide-ranging evidence suggesting that consciousness survives death. In her groundbreaking second book, she continues her examination of unexplained phenomena that began with her provocative New York Times bestseller UFOs: Generals, Pi

Can I Just Hide In Bed 'Til Jesus Comes Back?

I'll admit - I wanted to read Can I Just Hide In Bed 'Til Jesus Comes Back?: Facing Life With Courage, Not Comforters by Martha Bolton and Christin Ditchfield mainly because of the cute cover (I mean, just look at it!) and the fun title. I often just want to hide in my bed with junk food, books, and Netflix and retreat from the world and responsibilities. However, I know that hiding in bed really isn't the answer to life's problems. I figured I'd pick up this book and see what Martha and Christin have to say about facing life head on. The back cover says: "Depression, fear, a sense of unworthiness, and unfulfilled dreams can make women retreat to their beds—figuratively and literally—and refuse to face life. Yet most of the time, hiding in bed makes matters worse. Who needs emotional bedsores? Authors Martha Bolton and Christin Ditchfield gently show women how to climb out from under their emotional bedcovers, face their fears and doubts, and step into the l

Forgiving Our Fathers And Mothers by Leslie Leyland Fields (with Dr. Jill Hubbard) is one of the best books on forgiveness I've read in a long time. Each chapter details a different aspect to the parent/child relationship and need for forgiveness, followed by a word from Dr. Jill and study questions. I really enjoyed this format. It was like getting to the heart of the matter with Leslie, and then visiting a professional psychologist (Dr. Jill) to process your emotions afterward. Leslie uses her own real life story, plus the stories of others who have had difficult relationships with their parents, plus plenty of Scripture, to trace the path to forgiveness and healing. This book really hit home for me. Warning: it will probably make you cry! Leslie's story, as well as all of the others, were alternately emotional, touching, sad, horrifying, and redeeming. I liked how Leslie brought practical tips to questions such as, "Do I have to forgive?", "How do I forgive?
