Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis is a genius in writing about temptations and how we react to them. He couldn't have been more correct. Reading the "Screwtape letters" was a joy and quite educational. I've given several of these books away to friends who all loved this book. C.S. Lewis is a true Christian writer, very inspirational. I would definitely recommend this book.

Would not recommend, much better choices out there

I have read some of the reviews and I can tell this book is often used by fist time mothers. After having had several children and having read many more books, I would never suggest this book to anybody. What I did not like about this book is how pregnancy is described as all the things that we are supposed to feel and what will hurt, and how things are as if one mold fits all. I found Ina May's Guide to childbirth after I read this and found it one thousand times better. Dr. Marsden Wagners Birth plan book is also much better. "Birthing from Within" too is much better. Pregnancy does not have all the ill symptoms described in this book.

Why We Pick the Mates We do by Anne Teachworth

This is the book for every single person or couple to read. Her name is not TEACHWORTH for nothing, she is teaching us something worth reading and applying. It certainly helps us understand why we act how we act and why we attract whom we attract. Excellent book. Every counselor should have this on the bookshelf, marked up and using with clients. Shows how our childhoods catch up with us when we are adults trying to have stable relationships. I already bought several of these books to give to family and friends. Recommend it strongly.
