Extraordinary Christian-based, practical advice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Successful Single Parenting (Paperback)
Author, Gary Richmond, is a pastor and leads a divorce support group based in CA that has been in existence for more than 10 years. His sound advice is practical, heart-felt, and INVALUABLE! One could say that the book's 16 chapters fall into three major areas of support: (1). the parent & family in crisis...what's happening to us and how to survive, (2). 6 chapters focused solely on the children's responses (age specific), what you can do to give them the emotional support needed, and God's promise of help, and (3). processing it all, healing, moving on. There's also a bonus that I've NOT found in the numerous books about divorce I've read so far, and that's the section of FORGIVING...God's and yours! It's the firm foundation of your future victory and your children's! Be gentle with yourself; get this book and another: "Helping Children Survive Divorce" by Dr. Archibald D. Hart. You would not have read this far if you didn't truly want the best for your children despite the divorce. You will all be changed; it's your job to accept healing from God and to channel that to your children. Excellent "Single Parent Bookshelf" at the end listing books on various topics of concern to (single) parents where one can look for additional information. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!

Lots of Practical Help Here,
By Lauren Hodge "Lauren in Apple Valley" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Successful Single Parenting (Paperback)
There is a lot of practical, workable help in this book. I enjoyed it even though I had never even heard of this particular author. At times, also, I wanted to edit the book; it needs to be clearer and more direct at times.A lot of the material in this book is really about divorce recovery instead of single parenting. So if you're a single parent who is not divorced, or who has already processed your divorce issues, or you're just looking for the parenting help, there may be better titles out there. Michelle Howe, herself a single parent, has a very good book selling here on Amazon. Kevin Leman has a book here also. I enjoyed this book and I recommend it. Just be aware that a lot of it is not about parenting, it's about divorce issues and divorce recovery. If you need help with those issues, consider this book a "bonus" title. Lauren Hodge, Apple Valley, CA I also highly recommend: Raising Great Kids on Your Own: A Guide and Companion for Every Single Parent 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Successful Single Parenting (Paperback)
Recently been through a divorce myself and dealing with the stress of being a single mom, I was looking for ways to help my children get through this painful ordeal. I'd been doing a little reserch and found thi book and decided to order it. I'm NOT A READER... but I have not been able to put this book down because I can definately relate to almost everything in it! Would highly recommend it!
