Since my wife and I was familiar with Screwtape letters by C.S. Lewis and found out that this was a spin off of that book, I decided to buy for my wife. At the outset she was already excited about the creativity of making a Screwtape letters type of book for women. Tilly Dillehay did not disappoint in making this book. I never saw my wife read a book so quickly, she just couldn't put it down. It was so good as a husband hearing about the things she was learning from the book. From a husband to another husband who may be thinking about buying this book for your wife, you will not regret your decision.
I read it originally on Kindle and bought 2 copies following the first time I finished it. I passed one copy along to a man who recently became an elder in my church who is known for his discretion. Reading this book again with a pen.
It is powerful and hopeful, and yet extremely convicting and exposing how I have fallen short in the leadership of my family and church. I'm thankful its short because I have a hard time reading long books in this season of my life. I dont generally read books by people who are still alive, but this stood out to me and is much needed for our current times, and I believe will stand the test of time and be around for quite a while.
May God use this work to convict and transform his shepherds and people to live confidently in the glory and humility of the life He has called for us. Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run, with perseverence, the race marked out for us.
Skipped the shakespear chapter. Got better/ clearer to me after that.

I enjoyed this book
It was easy to read and really hard to put down. We read it through with our Elders!
After finishing this book, my three year old uttered an “Amen!” and I couldn’t agree more.
Both I and my children (ages 3,5, and 7) love this book. There are some books that are a slog as a parent to get through. This is not one of those. You will love it and so will your kids. Surprisingly humorous too. There is a page that always gets a laugh.
Excellent “road map commentaries” on Paul’s epistles thus far. Great group study material! Through this commentary, was introduced to R. Kent Hughes. Grateful for Doug’s ministry and canon press!
We are loving this book. The stories are well thought out and have created great discussion with our children.
Very helpful, touches on things that I’ve never seen in other far more popular marriage books. Solidly biblical.
I recently was exposed to the disappointing movie, How to Train a Dragon. It was demoralizing and terribly confusing for young Christian minds who are drawn in by the beautiful animation and empathy with God’s creatures. In contrast, Crispin’s Rainy Day displays excellent art with a noble and realistic drama. The hero overcomes his own sin to win the day for a godly feminine hero who instructs me every time I think of her character. This is good art!
Wonderful book for a young, married woman with a baby! I am now gifting it to friends.
This is an excellent book!
I enjoy waking up to a word of encouragement each day, and find myself revisiting it again at night.
All our kids, both boys and girls, have loved Hello Ninja! We buy it for all the babies we know!
absolutely fantastic! i got this as a late Christmas gift for two young kids, a brother and sister. As they say: kill the dragon, get the girl!
