Barbara & Susan’s Guide to the Empty Nest: Discovering New Purpose, Passion & Your Next Great Adventure

"This is truly one one of the best books I've read in years. It is written from a Christian perspective, but even if the reader is not religious, the discussion and resources are so valuable. I plan to buy several copies to give as gifts, and I can't imagine a woman who couldn't gain something from reading it."

"Barbara & Susan's Guide to the Empty Nest offers warm friendship and understanding to moms who are experiencing the conflicting emotions of the empty nester. Barbara Rainey, mother of six, is the wife of Dennis Rainey, President of Family Life. Susan Yates is mother to five kids including a set of twins. Barbara writes, 'The job of motherhood becomes not just what we do, but who we are, so when our children leave home, our identity walks out the door with them.' This leaves a bewildered mom struggling with questions. Does anyone need me now? Should I feel sad... or free? How do I relate to my husband and grown children now? What's God's purpose for the rest of my life? Guide to the Empty Nest is full of personal anecdotes, resources and wise council, and is a great resource for any mother as she celebrates this season of her life."
