Empty Nest Full Life

Summary: This is a religious book
Review: I was very displeased when I finally got my copy of this book in the mail. It is completely based on religion. Now, there is nothing wrong with this, but it is not mentioned in the preview before you buy the book. I would not have purchased it if I had known. Now my Mother has nothing to read, and I feel bad. Maybe Amazon should include this information in the preview so more people won't buy a book that they can't use.

Summary: Religious but useful
Review: If one must set aside the religious aspects of "Empty Nest", one can. That's the strength of this book. The real heart of the book lies in the shared experiences of mothers' whose children have left them alone. The sudden realization that an empty nest is the best signal that a mother has done her duty as completely as possible is made a bit more palatable by reading the similar experiences of other mothers.

Summary: Empty Nest Full Life
Review: Thank God for the spiritual aspects of this book. For those of us with a deep spiritual faith and reliance on God's faithfulness in our lives, I found the book healing and practical. The process of transitioning from a full house where children are our reason for getting up each day to the empty house is covered with practical compassion.
