Review of The Love and Respect Experience

I started a new program through Thomas Nelson Publishers on BookSneeze.com to recieve complimentary copies of books they publish in exchange for a review.  So here is my first review.

I found the book The Love and Respect Experience by Emerson Eggerichs to be a great way to connect with your spouse. With a subtitle like “A Husband-Friendly Devotional That Wives Truly Love", I wondered how he would set up the reading differently. He explains at the onset that the instructions are the key point that make this a husband friendly book, so I would not skip over these to get straight to the devotions at all.

The author has set the book up in such a way as to make it work to do the devotionals in a variety of ways. Maybe you would rather do the reading and questions separately and discuss it together later, or work on the devotional as a couple. Each chapter has a Bible verse, writing, insight, action and prayer.

If you have never read Love and Respect I think you can still get a lot out of this book and the devotions it offers. I did find the structure to be a bit disjointed as the discussion questions are in a section at the end of the book.
Overall I think that Dr. Emerson Eggerichs does a good job of making a friendly devotional book to help you connect with your spouse and God.
