AWESOME!

I paged through this book quickly one day & thought of the many similiarites that I had with the relationship with my son. The thought of the book kept coming back to me. My son is at college out of state so I ordered the book and after making some personal notes on a few of the pages, I sent it to him for his 20th birthday. I received a phone call the day he received the package and in a very soft voice, choking back tears I heard "Mom, I got the book - I want to tell you how much it meant to me". I teared up at his response. It is a Wonderful Book! It makes you laugh. It makes you cry. I think it is a must for a son and/or mother to have. What a tribute to sons and mothers alike~

A Must Buy !

I bought this book for my 27 year old son. It really hit home with a lot we'd been through with the different stages of our lives. I wrote my own comments on some of the pages to personalize it.

I Needed This Book!

This wonderfully touching book reminds me that whether or not my 13 yr. old son shows it, he does need to hear about all the things I like and love about him, even if he appears to be annoyed by it or shrug it off. Just as I stand up to his resistance regarding homework, chores, etc., I must be equally stubborn when it comes to letting him know how much I love and care about him. Mr. Lang has helped me so much by reminding me of my purpose in the life of my son. I don't know if it's his intention to "minister" to his readers, but his book has certainly ministered to me. I feel like a better mom.

A great gift for mothers!

This is an excellent gift for a mother for Mother's Day, her birthday or anytime. Each reason given was on point and true. To me, it's not only a reminder of who a mother is to a son, but it's also a reminder of all of the life lessons a mother gave to her son. A great gift idea.

A book for every mom and son

I am a mom with a three-year old son. While I love being a mom, it definitely can be difficult and exhausting. But this book reminded me that it is also full of joy, love, and laughter. I could not believe how this book has touched me. The author really gets to the heart of the mother/son relationship in a few words and amazing pictures. I couldn't stop turning the pages and anticipating what words of wisdom and illustrative picture would be on the next page. I'm not sentimental, but this book moved me to the point where I was smiling, laughing, and crying at the same time--without even realizing it. I highly recommend it for mothers and sons of all ages.
