Reviews:

From Gina Holmes, author of Crossing Oceans
Cindy and Eddie are not only good friends of mine, but a regular source of my spiritual renewal. It’s a great idea, the he-said/she-said concept and I always enjoy their devotionals. Both are not only grounded spiritually, and super nice people but they both keep me laughing. It’s that humor and heart that makes the spiritual more relatable in the most practical sense.

From Ane Mulligan, Editor of Novel Journey
I’ve know Eddie Jones and Cindy Sproles for a few years. Each has a way of tickling my funny bone, so I wondered what a devotional book by them would be. I can heartily recommend it. The humor is there, but it’s coupled with deep truths that go straight to the heart of the problem. You’ll find a path that winds closer to God through He Said, She Said.
From Scott McCausey, Radio host, Christian Devotions Speak UP!
This devotional series is how I discovered God’s gift through Christian Devotion Ministries and all the talented writers who grace their web site, [...]. The relationship between Eddie and Cindy will remind you of the brother or sister you grew up with, full of bantering and love for His word; they will guide you on a spiritual journey full of incite and humor. Don’t miss the next He Said She Said, I know I won’t!

From Reader, Nancy Dutton
I enjoy the male and female approach to the heartfelt, refreshing and thought-provoking devotionals. Reading these devotionals helps me draw closer to God. He Said, She Said is available and may be delivered to you in various formats, for your convenience.

From Reader Matt McCurry
My Mom and I both have read the book which is a great collection of devotionals and it’s not just for married people; I’m single and can use it in my life as a Christian man. Great reading, I really enjoyed it!

Being a smart wife is continuing education

Filed under: Faith,Issues,Limbs on the Family Tree — Tags: Adding Zest to Your Nest, Be the Smart Wife, Carin Goldstein, marriage, wives — Christa Allan @ 1:35 am

I recently began contributing to Adding Zest to Your Nest, a blog that explores women’s sexuality as Christians. If you’ve not had a chance to visit, please do.

In researching my upcoming blog post for Adding Zest, I found Be the Smart Wife, and promptly decided to add Carin Goldstein to my BFF list. Her blog’s subhead is: how to take care of yourself and your marriage without killing your husband.

What’s not to love about a woman who, in two minute video vignettes, addresses dilemmas such as

“WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU COME HOME TO THIS?” When you come home from an afternoon of errands, are you baffled by the fact that your husband is completely unaware of the disarray throughout the house?  If you find yourself biting your lip and trying oh so hard to not say “What the HELL is this?!?” then watch my video below and I will guide you to a muuuuuch better place:

“ARE YOU KIDDING??? I CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S STILL UPSET WITH ME!” Just when you thought the argument was over, you were wrong, wrong, wrong. How do you know this? Because your husband is acting as if you just ran over his cat and he wants little to nothing to do with you.Watch the video below to hear how we answered YOUR question on how to handle the above…

And there’s more…just visit her blog. You’ll laugh and learn.

Carin is a wife, a mother of two, and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience. And she’s witty. And honest. And real.
