A Must have for those of faith feeling alone

This is a wonderful book. I am reading it again and I just love how comforting it is. Many practicle Godly advice.

This book gave me hope!

When my husband left the faith, I thought my life and my marriage were over! This book helped me see how to work through this enormous struggle, and covered every topic I had trouble with, from attending church alone to raising spiritual children. Every day that I read from this book, I treated my husband with more kindness. Now that I have finished reading it, I think I will probably have to read it over and over every day so that I don't give up. It is amazing how Nancy practially read my mind and had an answer to all of my questions (and the answers are backed with scripture!) I highly recommend this book to any woman who feels "alone in her faith."

like talking to a friend

At this point, I don't know anyone that I can talk to about being a believing wife to an unbelieving husband. When I open the book, it's like I'm hearing from a good friend. God has given her the gift of being able to help me get out of self-pity, and turn to the One who can lead me through everyday life with my family. No more 'what-if's', this is my life. What is God's purpose as He takes me through it? I am called to love. Love is the greatest challenge, whether you are married to someone who shares your faith or not. I highly recommend this book for the encouragment and objectivenes she is able to deliver.

This book is EXCELLENT for ALL women.

This book is EXCELLENT for all women. I use to wish I could find a book that told me why my husband acted or thought the way he did. I finally found it in Nancy's book. I bought this book for a friend whose husband is not a Christian. As I started reading through it I could hardly put it down. I begin to learn where I as a wife with a Christian husband was making my own mistakes. We grow up believing that men and women are basically the same. We hear it on TV and movies and even from "the Experts", but Nancy points out how we think very differently about things. She explains many times "the saved wife" goes about the wrong way trying to convert her husband. Nancy teaches us (ALL OF US), how to allow GOD to do the work that WE are trying to do. It really is a "MUST READ" for all Christian women. Whether you are married to an unbeliever or not, this book will be of GREAT benefit for any wife.

Buy This Book!

Nancy Kennedy writes very funny and thought-provoking insight on how to "handle" an un-yoked marriage. I don't crank up the Christian music while my hubby's home (just like I don't appreciate his Rolling Stones) but it did help me understand that I am indeed quite normal. She also provides Biblical tools, websites, and books for additional help and information. It can be very painful not being able to share one's faith with a spouse, but at least I know I'm not alone. So glad I found this when I did -- read it, then let's chat over coffee!
