Summary: Letters to Live By
Review: "Letters to Karen" by Charlie W. Shedd, was full of interesting information and real life examples. This book was not hard to read and goes quickly.It is also for all ages. I enjoyed reading this book because of all the words of wisdom Mr. Shedd explained from all of his personal stories. One of the most important point he brought up for Karen was that communication within marriage is extremly crucial. He emphasizes the necessity of good communication between husbands and wives at all times. Within good communication, also includes apologizing to your spouse. Some people find it impossible to express their regrets but it is a requirement for a good marriage. The fact that Karen's father took time to give real encouragement to her about marriage is an example of parental affection and religious faith. While reading the book, I could really tell that he loved Karen with all his heart and would do anything for her. A godly marriage will take time to perfect but it is possible. If one has the strength of God's love, you can overcome anything. Overall, this book will one day help me a better wife to my husband. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's wonderful book to read over and over again.

Summary: Review of Letters to Karen
Review: I enjoyed this book. Some of the author's ideas were a little old-fashioned, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I like the idea of the husband being chivalrous. Also, I like how straightforward and honest he is in this book, telling his daughter personal stories of his marriage and giving good advice from his experience. This is a very good book for any girl to read, whether she is getting married soon or not.

Summary: Great Insight!!!!
Review: In his book, Dr. Charlie Shedd gives some really great advices and hints on healthy marriage relationships. I especially like the way Dr. Shedd wrote the letters. Each one of them is terse and direct to the point. Some of which are quit humorous. This book discusses important issues such as communication, sex, honesty, fights, apology and even housekeeping. By reading this book, one will learn many new truths about a successful marriage. I am perticularly fond of this book because it stresses the significant rold God plays in relationships. Often times people tend to believe they can find a resolution by their own abilities. Yet they ignore the fact that God should be placed first. Overall, I agree with most of Dr. Shedd's points. And I recommend anyone who has a serious attitude toward marriage to read this book!!!

Summary: Daddy's Little Girl
Review: Letters to Karen is a beautiful collection of letters from a father to his engaged daughter. Dr. Shedd gives some serious advice to his daughter but also lightens his letters with some comical advice. His words give wonderful insight into the mystery of marriage and how to deal with it all. This is an excellent book for anyone contemplating marriage. There is definitely some sound advice in here, much of it being based on the Word of God. Marriage can be a really scary time and I think it's awesome that this father cared enough for his daughter to start her off on the right foot. I truly enjoyed this book and am excited to read Dr. Shedd's other book, Letters to Philip. I recommend Letters to Karen for anyone who wants to know a little bit more about marriage, male or female. Personally, I will be reading this book again before I get married!

Review: Letters to Karen was a great book. The more I read about Karen, the more she reminded me of me. Although I'm not getting married any time soon, I could relate to her because she dated a lot of men and got board very easily. Her father started writting her letters when she anounced her engagement. The book is a guideline of what to do in a marriage and what not to do in a marriage. It gives good tips on fighting, getting to the inner-self of your spouce, and ways to show your love to eachother. It not only tought me how I want my husben to treat me, but how I want to treat my husband. It is a great book to read when your starting to get serious with your boyfriend. I also suggest that guys read Letters to Philip.

Summary: Holiness and Submissiveness at it's best
Review: Letters to Karen was an incredibly insightful and adorable book. I loved the aspect of a father writing to his daughter to give her sound advice for marriage based upon the Word of God. His letters are often comical and other times very serious. Every engaged couple should read these books if they want to learn how to be better spouses for one another. I would definitely recommend this book to any girl or even any guy. Dr. Shedd is a wonderful man with extremely good advice for all those looking into marriage. I learned quite a bit on what it means to be a good wife and mother and just how hard and rewarding of a job it can be. God has definitely used Dr. Shedd to reach others on being a woman of God. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading it again before I get married!!
