Dr Laura: A Mother in America: Christian Insights about America's Best-Known Mom

Arrived on time Good book

What a great little book. It's packed with valuable information for anyone wishing to understand how our lives intertwine with God's word. The author really knows his stuff. I especially liked chapter 4, page 76 "Imperial Selfs as a Standard." The retelling of a Calvin and Hobbs classic reminded me of my old thinking before the Bible. And after reading page 79, I thank God for sending Grandma Ida Mae. Thanks for the lessons!

Read this book: If you're a fan of Dr. Laura, you may find fresh insights into her personality and philosophy. If you're a Christian or a parent or a husband or a wife or a child, you will find wisdom to improve all these relationships. That wisdom is as old as the Bible and as real as the experience of the author of "Dr. Laura: A Mother in America." Ray McClendon is a Christian, a husband and a father who, because he has succeeded in all these roles, is competent to advise others. The book is a quick, easy read that will harm you not at all and should help you in many ways.Rodger Trimm, minister, El Centro, CA

Dr. Laura: A Mother in AmericaI thoroughly enjoyed this very readable book that points out the need to apply all of God's truths to enrich our lives and to move us away from our self-centeredness and toward the strong families that are pleasing to God. The authors "hand in glove" approach effectively matches Dr. Laura's wit and her ability to quickly understand the "real" problem of the caller with his insightful humor and knowledge of God's word. The tone of the book looks at the the principles in both the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible as the answer to troubling changes taking place in society that are eroding the family, the basic unit in developing strong moral character. The authors ability to select the richest nuggets from the countless hours of programing he reviewed gives one a genuine appreciation of the ability of the "Dr." to enable people see themselves and to understand their problems. His knowledge of God's word and his experience in helping people apply it to their lives supports and enhances Dr. Laura's efforts. After reading the book, one can see that in spite of any warts each may have Dr. Laura and the author are both searching for the way to best serve God. P.S. An added plus was the humorous poetry contained in the appendix.
