Book Description

Falling in love is one of life's great experiences. Everyone wants to be in love. "No matter where we are in our lives, or what else may occupy our time, we all wish to have someone to love, someone who will love us in return," writes Greg Lang in the introduction to Why I Love You, the latest installment of his best-selling series.

Romance is fun. Romance is exciting. Romance is intoxicating. It's no wonder we all crave it, but it's interesting, too, that we approach it differently, depending upon our personal styles. Some people dive in head first, abandoning all their inhibitions; others proceed with caution. Either way, as a romantic relationship progresses, we find that it, like any other relationship, requires care and nourishment in order to flourish. If there is one thing the author has learned from his own romantic history, it is that love cannot go unexpressed. And that is why he has written this book.

In truth, there usually are hundreds of reasons that we love someone, and yet, when it comes to telling that special person how we feel, it is often hard to verbalize even a few. In Why I Love You, Greg Lang captures 100 reasons that we love a romantic partner in the hope that it will inspire couples everywhere to be more open and giving in their relationships.

With warm and vivid photographs of loving couples of various ages and ethnic backgrounds, Why I Love You is the perfect gift book for anyone who is in love.

A great greating card.......2007-02-12

Lang writes wonderful stuff but should put it in a greeting card for $3.95 not a book. Like his past offerings, "Why a son needs a Dad" & "Why a daughter needs a Dad", there are pages of photos and one liners. Nothing of real essence, unless it was printed in a greeting card! Not worth the money!

Book Description

Best-selling author, Gregory E. Lang captures the essence of the dynamic relationships among adoptive families. These are families with so much love to share who are desperate to have and/or help children. From hugs and kisses, to witnessing "firsts" together, "Why I Chose You" depicts all of the reasons why each child is uniquely special to his or her adoptive parent(s).

For many adoptive parents, they desperately want children but are unable to have them. The adoption process provides them with a child who needs a parents' love and nurturing as much as the parents need the child. In other cases, adoptive parents see a need to provide loving homes for children who will flourish because of the affection they have to give.

More than 120,000 children are adopted each year in the United States alone. Trends continue to indicate that the number of adoptees is growing each year as the number of children in foster care continues to increase.

Raising a child is not a right, but a gift. It matters not from where the gift comes, but simply that it is received. Gone are the days in which adoption was taboo. It is reason for rejoicing, sharing, and celebrating. No guilt and no second guesses can creep into your heart once it is so completely filled to bursting with love.

It is that love that is celebrated within the pages of "Why I Chose You." Gregory E. Lang has compiled dozens of reasons for adoption as well as capturing the adoration, affection, and mutual gratification that is received from both the parent and child. For there is no greater place than a home filled with love, and no greater gift than the smile of a happy and contented child who knows he or she is loved.

Why I Chose You Review.......2007-03-12

The book Why I Chose You was a disappointment for me. It's just okay. I expected some short adoption stories. Instead the book just lists simple sentences that express reasons for adopting along with an accompanying photo of an adopted child and his family. The book lacks substance. I don't recommend it.

It Touched My Heart .......2006-11-16

My husband and I are currently in the process of adopting our first child. When I came across this book in the store it stopped me dead in my tracks. Faster than you could blink an eye I was standing in the middle of the aisle reading each page and crying my eyes out. The photos and words in this book truly touched my heart, and I know that it will fast become a family favorite.

"Why I Chose You" Gregory E. Lang.......2006-02-02

Powerful, emotional, exceptionally well done. A perfect gift for anyone who has adopted a child and beautiful reading for the extended family. It captures the almost indescribable feelings that unite a parent and child and will, at some point, be a valuable tool in expressing those feelings to the child.

Good but not Inclusive.......2005-12-17

It would be hard for any author and his editors to represent every type of adoptive family in this book. And those not represented should acknowledge that, but it seems appearant that was a conscious effort made to limit and/or exclude non-white, non-straight families, non tradional families.
I was very pleased when I found this book on Adoption and my heart swelled as I read the various passages, but as I skimmed through it I failed to see a single picture of two dads. I thought I might have missed it, so I skimmed again, nope, not there.
But what I did find was an email address in the back of the book for the author. I sent him an email addressing my concerns. He responded quickly and reasonably. While I disagree with the marketing of the book, I applaud Greg Lang for his interest and effort and I have since purchased the book.
Note to the Editors: Had not the author responded personaly to my concerns, I would not have purchased this book, so keep that in mind for your second printing.

A Must For Parents of Adopted Children.......2005-09-06

I initially found this book at a local department store when shopping with my mother-in-law, her 2 sons are adopted. As she started skimming through this book in the store she started crying! I knew right away that this would be a perfect gift for her, but the price seemed too high at the store. I checked out Amazon.com when I got home and found it for $10 less!! If you have adopted children, this is a MUST!!

Book Description

Movies like Sleepless in Seattle and An Affair to Remember bombard people with bad ideas—MythInformation—about love. We are told that if you meet the right person and fall in love, your marriage will thrive and you will be happy. However, while love is important, stable marriages are not based on love alone.

Barbara Bartlein has worked with hundreds of couples as they have worked to save their marriages, and she is now ready to share the secrets of what they have learned together. A happy, successful marriage almost always is the result of hard work and commitment, she says, but all too often people don't know what to do to improve their marriages. This is where Why Did I Marry You Anyway? fills the gap. With 12.5 strategies that cover all the common problems in relationships, like money, children, sex, and in-laws, she tells couples what to do and shows them how to do it.

Each chapter follows the same outline. First, a common complaint is explored. Second, common myths that block solutions to the problem—the MythInformation—are identified and helpful ways of countering them are suggested. Third, case studies illustrate the concepts in action. Finally, quizzes and tools provide opportunities to practice these new skills and behaviors. The result is a helpful, humorous, and easy-to-read book. Anyone who gives it just a little thought will come away with practical insights that will result in positive changes in their lives.

I can't believe my husband enjoyed it with me........2007-05-26

While on a long car trip, my husband notice me reading Barbara Barlein's Why Did I Marry You Anyway? To help pass the time, he suggested I read it aloud. I was amazed at his interest and his desire for me to stop and discuss passages with him. He even stated that he was getting a lot out of it. Many issues we had never discussed came to the fore and were patiently worked out. I was very impressed, not only with the material presented in this book, but in the fun way it was presented and the ease that it could be used as a basis for good discussion.

Great resource!.......2007-04-12

Barb Bartlein's book is a good read for anyone interested in enriching relationships I am a psychotherapist doing a great deal of marriage counseling and have already recommended Why Did I Marry You Anyway? to several of my client couples. I'm grateful for this resource.

Barbara Bartlein's easy to read yet thoughtful book on marriage was perfectly timed for me and my own 23 year marriage. She makes typical problems fun and less typical ones solveable. Her sense of humor comes through - which is what every long marriage needs. Thank you, C.Maxey

Get Your Copy Now!.......2004-10-15

What a great book! It's funny, easy to read and thought-provoking...even for those who don't have major problems in their marriage. (Initially, I thought I'd read this book and grab a couple pointers to pass onto another couple who really needed help, but as I read, I found myself thinking "Hey! I think she's talking to me here!")

Barbara Bartlein is down-to-earth, honest and explicit with her strategies. She addresses every aspect of married life and offers new perspective for continuous problems. Struggling with in-laws?...See chapter 4. Financial troubles?...Chapter 10 will help. Contemplating children?...Must read chapter 12!

Barbara is also generous with her personal experiences that help the reader connect with her invaluable insights. Each chapter is divided into short sections so the busy reader can enjoy tidbits of information with morning coffee, while standing in line at the checkout counter, or waiting for children at sporting events.

I highly recommend this book not only to married couples, but to those considering the ever challenging union of matrimony. A great idea for a shower gift!

Very entertaining!.......2004-10-15

When my friend recommended this book to me I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it seeing as I am un-married. However, after reading the first two chapters I was hooked on the humorous and helpful advice Barbara gives for all relationships--not just marriage. I would highly recommend reading this book to anyone looking to strengthen the relationships in their life.

Wonderful book on marriage!.......2003-07-20

I've read a lot of books on marriage and I have to say that this is the best! I really appreciate the relevance of this book to married life. It helps you realize that you have no control of other people (namely your spouse) but you do have a say in who has control over you ... and this should be the Holy Spirit. Tim Lahaye shows you how you can live a Spirit filled life and deals with real struggles like fear and anger ... letting emotions control you and hinder the Spirit's work in your life.
A lot of times in dealing with marriage issues we focus on dealing with the issues of our spouse ... Tim shows how we need to deal with ourselves and give our marriages and our spouses to the Lord.
I also appreciate the way he incorporates the personality types in this book. It is important to realize that we all were wonderfully designed by God DIFFERENTLY.
In addition to this book I would highly recommend reading The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I thought these two books work wonderfully together in teaching about our differences, as well as how to meet our mate's needs, be obedient to God in marriage, and have a more fulfilling marriage relationship.

Great.......1999-12-17

I am a young unmarried Christian, and this book has given me alot of insight on the whole marriage thing.Looking at marriages around me, I see alot of things listed or illustrated in this book and I am very pleased w/ this book. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Great book Tim. May God bless you all and keep you. Robert Wagner

In-depth but Complex.......2002-07-09

Speaking from a Layman's point of view, this is no easy read. The book is full of information and plenty of explanations about schemas and their application and origin. This book will likely require a 2nd if not a 3rd reading to fully understand it's concepts.

As for me, I found if interesting enough to know what schemas are and how they interpret my life's experiences and viewpoints. This was already brought up in the 1st chapter. But having no desire to pursue a PHD, I quickly lost interest in reading the rest of the book because of the considerable details. The book read more like a 4 th year psychology textbook than a self-help book.

Surely schemas are a very important and relevant method of clinical diagnosis, and I will be better off knowing more about them. I only wish the authors could make it less scientific. Perhaps a few more case studies would be helpful.

Exceptionally well-written, profound yet clear insights.......1998-10-06

Why Can't I Get What I Want? emphasizes one of the latest developments in cognitive therapy, i.e., the role schemas play in our lives. The authors suggest that schemas can be thought of as powerful lenses that affect every important part of life. I had previously known of the schema concept, but was impressed by the clarity of the presentation and the case examples that brought the notions to life.

I was also surprised to see elements of chaos theory applied to schemas in a fascinating manner. The authors cleverly demonstrate how inconsistencies are a natural phenomenon in all of us. They note out how easy it can be to flip between opposite, seemingly contradictory poles of any particular schema (such as from perfection to inadequacy).

This book makes you think. I have acquired a much deeper understanding of myself and others. The ideas have stuck with me and I see new applications of them frequently. I have never read a self-help book before that provided such a wide swath of applications. It isn't just about depression or anxiety; it's about life-relationships, empowerment, and self-worth.

I highly recommend this book!

I was at the point of great destruction in my new marriage, when I came across this book. Although my husband and I had been going out for 7 years before we got married, I always thought things would change, for the better when we tied the knot, but it didn't.This book helped me to realise that love is a decision and as Christians we shouldn't give up and that through God anything could happen. Don't give up read this book!!!!

It's a great book to use to help create a better home.......1999-06-23

For a single young lady, this book was just what I needed to understand myself a little more and how to create a Godly home for my future family. It taught the precepts of love and care in a fantastic sort of way. It's a book to have before and after marraige. A book to keep for all time.
