What Makes Hope for the Home Front Competitive
A Leader in a New Publishing Niche
Hope for the Home Front: Winning the Emotional and
Spiritual Battles of the Military Wife stands out in the
new niche of publications targeted to the military wife. Since
September 11, 2001, America and her allies have begun to
recognize and appreciate the armed forces and their families
who sacrifice to protect their precious freedoms.
A Source of True Strength
Hope for the Home Front: Winning the Emotional and
Spiritual Battles of the Military Wife is written to
encourage the soul and to feed the spirit of the wives of
servicemen. Its greatest strength is its inspiration, the
Word of God, which is alive and active, pierces the heart,
and can divide soul and spirit. “All Scripture is
God-breathed,” a truth that makes Hope for the
Home Front a living, breathing book which speaks to the
military wife's heart of hearts. The author's Bible knowledge,
experience in teaching Scripture and ability to apply Truth
with honesty and humor give Life to Hope for the Home Front
that its competitors lack. This also makes Hope for the
Home Front a timeless publication, applicable to any
generation.
No one wants to read another rendition of “How to Survive Deployment” or any other "how to cope" publication, which most of the competition is and which servicemen or family members can easily access free of charge at any Fleet and Family Service Center, Readiness Support Group meeting or chaplain's office. Hope for the Home Front is fresh, real and worthwhile; it is not a redesigned regurgitation of government brochures and pamphlets. The River of Life flows through its pages and invites the tired and thirsty to come, drink and live.
An Experienced Author
Secondly, the author's personal experiences and familiarity with
the military lifestyle from a wife's perspective lend credibility
to Hope for the Home Front. Some of the writers of
competing books are not even women, much less military wives.
Readers want to hear from one who has lived there, not from one
who stopped in for the weekend. Marshele Carter Waddell is the
20-year wife of a career U.S. Navy SEAL. Together she, her
husband and their three children have endured many lengthy
separations and frequent deployments for special operations
training and real world conflicts for two decades. The majority
of America's military families have just begun to cope with the
challenges that the author has lived with for more than twenty
years. Also, the lifestyle of a Special Operations Forces member
and his family is a more intense, condensed, unpredictable
version of the average military experience. This, too, sets Hope
for the Home Front apart from the competition, adding depth,
believability, compassion and stirring, true stories which
readers want in a book.
A Practical Purchase and an Enjoyable Read
Hope for the Home Front is also practical. It is small,
simple and easy to read. Today's woman has a full plate. She
reaches for the book that gets to the point and that hits the spot.
