    • Description:

    IF YOU’VE PICKED UP THIS BOOK, you’re probably scratching your head pondering this tough relationship question. No mother-in-law wants to be the monster-in-law that bad jokes make her out to be, yet blending two families in marital bliss is often somewhat less than blissful.

    Upon hearing that she was to become a mother-in-law, author Jane Angelich began looking for solutions before problems arose. She surveyed hundreds of women using the popular website WeddingChannel.com to come to a better understanding of what a mother-in-law’s role should be. She discovered that five important steps kept coming up. She concluded that if you follow these steps, you too can build a loving relationship with a daughter-in-law and avoid many of the in-law pitfalls.

    Sidebars, practical suggestions, and stories of love and encouragement are among the many elements in this important book.

    Whether you’re a new mother-in-law or a more seasoned one, open this book and learn how to embrace and enjoy this time of your life.

    • The Speaker’s Quote Book—Revised and Expanded—by Roy B. Zuck is a book that is a great resource for all public speakers. Everyone who speaks or preaches needs a nice supply of great illustrations. The Speaker’s Quote Book provides the attention-getting story or that “just right” quote that adds depth to any sermon or presentation.

    This and over 5,000 more quotes, stories, anecdotes, and illustrations from The Speaker’s Quote Book will help the pastor prepare a better sermon or the speaker present a better speech. This new collection of both contemporary and classic material puts a wealth of interest-building illustrations at one’s fingertips. I believe this book can be beneficial for writers also. Roy Zuck’s book has been around for awhile, but this is the new revised, expanded and updated version.
