Customer Reviews

I needed this book5
I was't sure I even wanted to know anything Cyndy could teach me about housework. It's not that my house is dirty, I just believe in relaxed maintenance. But the more I read, the more she made sense. Organization is the key word, and I'm getting there. Her tips about storage and controlilng clutter are worth the price of the book.
I really needed the one about drowning in a sea of paper, and the recipes in the back of the book are great.
This is one book I'll refer back to time after time. Thanks to Cyndy, I can actually find things now. Believe me, that's a great improvement.

Great for those who need help!5
This book was amazing. I am the most unorganized person around and it has really helped me get a handle on the clutter. Mrs. Salzman has a wonderful way of making it simple. This book has been a wonderful addition to my home.

Well-Written, Motivational Read 5
As an author of parenting books,The Birth to Five Book: Confident Childrearing Right from the Start, it's my honor to read other books that also contribute to better homes and family life.

Salzmann's Making Your Home a Haven is well-written, realistic and motivational. From her own experiences the author illustrates, often humorously, important messages about making our homes a safe, nurturing, inviting place for today's busy family. Our society is built upon the family unit and this book not only values that principle but inspires the reader with practical ways to preserve the family.
Each chapter closes with a GOING DEEPER section of thought-provoking questions and introspection exercises. There are also recipes, recycling ideas, a section on hospitality, and supplemental resources.
While this book is written by and for a Christian it is NOT preachy nor smack of oppressive attitudes towards women.
I recommend it as an encouragement gift to young couples who want to build an enjoyable future together. It'd also make an excellent group study.
