Customer Reviews

No watering down the truth with this one

It took guts to write this book, to tell the whole truth about why she strayed from her marriage, and to accept the responsibility for her own unhappiness. As a victim of an unwanted divorce, now remarried, I can say that Nancy is right on target with her advice on how to grow that affair-proof hedge around your marriage. Of course, it takes two, but God can do much with one heart willing to look inside and confront what needs to be changed. Thanks for this needed book!

Vulnerable and Victorious

Nancy C. Anderson writes about a confusing time in her life with such vulnerability, she draws the reader in. She shows how being out of the will of God brought her nothing but heartache, and then takes us through her journey from chaos to the cure. Her practical tips and spiritual insights inspire her readers to work on their own relationships. Recommended reading whether struggling in your marriage or you want to make a good thing better.

Brutally Honest, Wonderfully Hopeful

Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome is an absolute gem of a book. Nancy's honesty is refreshing and makes the reader trust Nancy's advice that comes after she shares her own story of infidelity. Her words are filled with the sort of wisdom that one learns only through making a tragic mistake, but the book is also filled with words of hope for every couple out there. Laced with humor, practical tips, and spiritual insight, Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome is a must read and re-read for every pastor, counselor, and couple who are ready to understand fully what God can and will do to not only save a marriage, but grow it into a thing of beauty.

Masterful and Vunerable

Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome is by turns honest, humorous, moving, insightful, and practical. Nancy Anderson does a masterful job at both telling her story without going into sordid details and remaining vulnerable enough to inspire and encourage struggling couples. I highly recommend this book!

A Must Read!

Even if infidelity hasn't been a problem in your marriage you will benefit greatly from this book. Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome is a MUST READ! Nancy C. Anderson is willing to tell about her lousy marriage, work-place affair, and how an incredible God, a forgiving husband, and a lot of hard work put their Humpty Dumpty marriage back together again. Not only does this book tell her story in a way that will give you goosebumps, but it gives simple steps and ideas, that if put into practice will make the grass of your marriage the greenest in the neighborhood. (I especially like the humorous way Nancy addresses the "romance" factor -- you'll have to read chapter ten!!) I'm going to buy a box of Avoiding the Greener Grass Syndrome and give them as wedding presents.
