5.0 out of 5 stars Walt Wangerin teaches valuable marriage principles., Mar 19 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: As For Me and My House: Crafting Your Marriage to Last (Paperback)

Walt Wangerin's gift for story telling is demonstrated undeniably in this marvelous book on the challenges of making marriage work. His powerfully transparent autobiographical sections moved me and drew me in, setting me up for his teachable moments, which are compelling and instructive. I wept with Wangerin as he told of the grace and forgiveness afforded him by his wife, knowing full well the liberating joy of being similarly forgiven by my wife of 26 years. This text is required reading at our church for couples preparing to marry. But it may be even more meaningful reading for those of us who have a decade or two of marital experience under our belts! Read and enjoy Walt Wangerin at his best!

This review is from: As for Me and My House: Crafting Your Marriage to Last (Hardcover)

The book arrived exactly as described and included a wrapped candy treat as well! It took a long time to get through the mail but this was not the seller's fault. Responded quickly to email questions as well. Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use it for Pre-Cana Counseling, Jul 3 2003

By	Robert M. Haux (LaGrange, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a Catholic priest, I use this book for Pre-Cana (before you get married)counseling. I think it's the best I've seen, and I've recommended it to my Bishop to be used in the curriculum of our seminary. Would that people read this before they got married ~ also good as an eye opener if you are married, and for no matter how long. As the Chairman of the Board of Examining Chaplains for my diocese (who oversees academic stuff before a man is considered for ordination), I'll tell you that this book will be required reading for any man before he becomes a priest with pastoral cares.
Bravo!!!
