LOVE LOVE LOVE by Michelle Rominger  5 Stars
October 18, 2009
This book, I think, is a must read for any single parent, male or female. It offers very practical advice with plenty of realistic stories and ideas. I'm a single parent and this book brings me much relief in some areas and great advice in others. I've read it over and over. And sometimes if I know I'm struggling with a certain area I can just read the chapter pertaining to that to refresh my memory. Would tell any single parent to read this! LOVE IT!

Single Parents Have a Friend in this Wonderful Book by armchairinterviews.com (Minnesota) 5 Stars
February 06, 2009
Single parents seeking to find the answers and guidance to raising great kids can begin with this caring and insightful book with Christian values.
The authors embrace raising great kids with love, patience, understanding, and endurance. To guide you to this end, there are three parts to this easy-to-read-and-understand book.
The three parts are:
Part One: Finding your Way to a New You-Learning to care for yourself.
Much like making sure your oxygen mask is on, in an aircraft emergency, before trying to assist your child with their mask, this chapter focuses on your own faith, health and welfare so you can be there for your kids.
Networking, how to network and with whom, is noted as a mainstay to build your support system. This along with taking care of yourself, according the authors, will put you on solid footing.
Part Two: Helping Your Kids Adjust to Trauma and Change-Learning to Nurture Your Children.
Through the stories of parents who are "making the best of their situation," you'll discover how to communicate with your children, and understand how your children process their grief.
Part Three: Facing The Future-Learning to Manage Your New Life.
Relevant topics surface in this segment. Questions and answers about employment options, continuing education, financial realities, dating and relationships, are all covered with poignant stories from men and women learning to live life alone or with a new mate.
As an useful guide, you'll discover more about yourself and how to stay or become the parent you want to be for your child or children starting right now.
Armchair Interviews says: The husband-and-wife team presents an important message.

Great book, very thorough and full of good advice! by Single Mom (Jerusalem, Israel) 5 Stars
January 06, 2009
I really enjoyed this book. I am two years post-divorce and have two little boys, and I found David and Lisa Frisbie's advice right on the mark. From giving encouragement to single parents to giving guidelines for dating and remarriage, this book really helped me feel better about my single status and more self-confident in my parenting abilities. Kudos to the Frisbies for their dedication to helping us single parents!

Clear, Practical Help for Single Parents! by Lauren Hodge (Apple Valley, California) 5 Stars
June 15, 2008
This book is easy to read, clear and practical. Hugely helpful for single parents, I was surprised to find help for single dads here, not just for single moms. BOTH are included; both will find great help in these pages.
I've heard these authors twice now, at seminars in southern California. They're exactly the same in person: clear, down-to-earth, and practical.
They're also funny --- a lot of the humor finds its way into the books.
GREAT book for single parents; really good stuff about raising your teens.
