"Reminds me of Lessons in Prayer from Andrew Murray and George Mueller."
"This book just opened up incredible increase of wisdom and understanding to circle your prayers."
"What this all does is teaches "a new way to pray" that the Word of God never espouses and is against Biblical teaching on prayer."
"His focus seems to be how to pray to make certain outcomes come to fruition, instead of emphasizing prayer that brings one into a closer relationship with a God who orders our steps."
"He left out a very important part of that passage which is how God sent a plague after sending the quail."
"Bad theology."
"I just don't understand why this book was written or taken seriously by people who read the word of God. The following article is good, but honestly the Biblical problems I have with this book and 40 days are many more than mentioned."
Based upon Ephesians 5:33 and extensive biblical and psychological research, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs reveals the power of unconditional love and unconditional respect and how husbands and wives can reap the benefits of marriage that God intended. Emerson Eggerichs, PhD, is an internationally known communication expert and author of the New York Times bestseller Love & Respect .

"Been practicing and studying this book for a year or so."
"That being said, if a woman reads the book without regard for the religious filler (or if she is religious anyways), I can vouch that nearly every man will agree that if the teaching of this book were introduced into their relationship, he would be instantly more satisfied and many relationships could be saved. Between this book and "Five Love Languages," I believe many failing relationships could be salvaged; so long as both partners are at least good-willed."
"It's allowed me to be more patient with my other half and open up a whole new way for me to see things from his point of view."
"Great, awesome book."
"There are some very good insights in this books, and I was able to take away some good information, and it can absolutely serve as a general guide to how to better communicate with and understand your partner, but I think there is alot of factors and real world issues missing here, especially the fact that we are all individuals and all men and women do not neatly fit into this author's defined boxes Love and respect is needed by both partners and as a women my husband needs to respect me or I don't feel loved, and vice versa. These fundamentals are not mentioned in this book or addressesed, which gives false hope that all these fundamentals can be miraculously instilled in both partners with the Love & Respect method described in this book. In summary, the meat of the information in this book does give alot of insight, has alot of merit, gives couples good principles by which to conduct themselves and treat their partners, which I'm sure has helped many people, and would absolutely help guide married as well as pre- marital couples."
"This book was a bummer."
The DVD includes a 30-minute presentation by author Emerson Eggerichs speaking on Love & Respect and a downloadable study guide for the seminar. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. Dr. Eggerichs has a M.A.

A Bible like no other, The Jesus Storybook Bible invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation---and at the center of their Story too. “I would urge not just families with young children to get this book, but every Christian–from pew warmers, to ministry leaders, seminarians and even theologians! Sally Lloyd-Jones has captured the heart of what it means to find Christ in all the scriptures, and has made clear even to little children that all God’s revelation has been about Jesus from the beginning–a truth not all that commonly recognized even among the very learned.” – Dr. Timothy Keller, NYC ( Dr. Timothy Keller ).

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've tried three or four toddler Bibles, but they ranged from the meaningless and banal (Read With Me Bible For Toddlers) to the downright horrifying in their interpretation (The Story For Little Ones). The Jesus Storybook Bible, on the other hand, seeks to show how God's plan of salvation is unfolding through each story, and largely succeeds in doing so. First of all, there are children's Bibles like the Read With Me Bible that are simply bland. Granted, toddlers are not going to pick up on every nuance of a story from the Bible, but the Read With Me Bible often chooses the wrong points to emphasize, entirely leaving out important points of narrative along the way. One story simply lists miracles Jesus did with no context, failing to communicate that Jesus' miracles actually anticipate and begin to realize a new world, a world where God's Kingdom and rule are breaking into the world in a new and exciting way. This simply displays a level of ignorance about the story of Samson that is beyond belief for someone writing (interpreting) a Bible for children! So, for example, the story of the Exodus is told not as the story of God's great magic show, but instead on the great, mighty, and terrifying rescue of God's people from their slavery, pointing forward also to humanity's slavery to sin and coming rescue in Jesus. But again, the strength of this Bible is that it gets the story right, interpreting the main idea correctly and always pointing toward Jesus."
"I love this, I have toddlers and want them to know about the happiest, greatest story in all the world<3 Its simple and sweet and I love how each biblical story ends with how that story paves the way for Jesus. Mostly the main message, the good news; God loves the world, loves YOU, no matter what!"
"It’s great to read alternate translations (even kids versions) while retaining biblical accuracy."
"I was delighted to find out that not only did we finish it but she also brought it back to me after a few weeks and wanted to read it through a second time!"
"So many of the versions out there are just the regular bible verses with colorful kids pictures incorporated."
"Every single Bible story is tied to Christ and points children to the understanding of God's overall plan of redemption and salvation through Christ."
"They were 3 months when I. started reading to the twins."
"We love this book!!!"
