Title: From One Widow to Antoher
Author(s): Miriam Neff
Price: $13.99
ISBN: 080248784X

"Widow" is one title women do not want to have. Yet, according to the Surgeon General's office, 800,000 people become widows or widowers every year in the United States alone. Every aspect of a widow's existence changes--like it or not, ready or not. These changes to the structure of life just add to the emotional roller coaster that most women experience after losing their husband. Miriam Neff understands the emotional roller coaster ride widows are riding--she has been there, too. As she struggled to understand and accept her new role after her husband's death, she recognized the need for women to hear from other women about their experiences and what helped them transition to this new stage of life. This is a practical resource as well as emotional encouragement.

Title: Conversations at the Girlville Diner
Author(s): Kim Bolton and Chris Wave
Price: $12
ISBN: 0976740702

Every woman needs a place where she can talk about whatever's on her mind — from hairdos to friendships, lost lost rings to love, diapers to grace. In Conversations at the Girlville Diner, authors Kim Bolton and Chris Wave take readers to such a place: the neighborly, nothing-fancy Girlville Diner, where girlfriends gather round, and God, the head Cook, serves up daily specials of life and love. Written as a collection of friendly essays, Conversations at the Girlville Diner serves up page after page of welcome reminders concerning God's presence in a woman's everyday life. From the general struggles of life and love to the particular demands of motherhood, readers will see how Kim and Chris learned to recognize God's trademark touch, and will learn to do so in their own lives.
