The Echo Within by Robert Benson is a delightful little book. The first half had me nearly in tears as Mr. Benson encourages the reader to search within for the clues for the answer to "What do you want to be when you grow up?" He instructs us to listen to the words that people speak into our lives because sometimes it's God speaking through them. He shows us how little things can be what makes the lightbulb go off when we finally get it right.

For Couples Only
I've been a fan of Shaunti & Jeff Feldhahn's writings for several years now. This latest release is a combination of both For Women Only and For Men Only. It is simply titled For Couples Only. It's a lovely little box set of two books that changed the way my husband and I relate to each other. I read For Women Only and was amazed at how much I didn't know about men. Then I went ahead and read For Men Only too because of my curious nature :) WOW! Did they hit head-on EXACTLY how women are. I watched as my husband read it and observed the "a-ha" looks on his face when he realized that I was not an abnormality, that ALL women are this way.
I recommend this box set for all married couples. I think it would make a wonderful wedding gift too. Or just a perfect Valentine's Gift to share with your spouse. Once you read these gems you'll realize that he/she is the way they are because that's how God made them to be. We are different from each other. That was His plan all along. These books open a world of understanding and will bring you closer together.
