I cannot say enough good things about this book. I wouldn't have discovered it if it wasn't sitting on the display shelf at my local library. And I'm surprised they actually had the book because of it's specificity to Christian single parents. Nonetheless, we need MORE BOOKS LIKE THIS!! Since being a single parent myself (surprise pregnancy, never married) to an almost 2 year old, I have always felt that the church severely neglects people that walk in my shoes. I find it oddly ironic, considering it's so common to see single parents everywhere you look. The family unit is diminishing and we, as a body of Christ, need to be there for others. Thank you Robert Beeson for what you're doing and what you wrote! I hope that your Single Parent society grows nationally. I would love to be a part!

review Q&A-

- What did you like about the book and why? It is more advising the reader through personal struggle, then actually pushing the reader to think a certain way. I enjoy the option to take away from the moments instead of feeling transformed into the passages included.

- What did you not like about the book and why? There were a lot of references to passages that I felt could be used in any way, but it is not a dislike I just felt like I would be in the middle of a story and then want to transform into a bible study moment.

- What did you learn? The author gave fresh, pure and honest thoughts, incorporated that with biblical reference and fact to make a really good book.

- To whom would you recommend this book and why? A parent or someone that has a need to focus on the family in a spiritual way.
