Oil for Your Lamp
From Marcy Perry of Prescott, Arizona on 1/14/2013 .
This book is a gift for my sister who has taken care of everyone else, to the detriment of her health. She is now partially disabled and still caring for others. I'm hoping this book will help her to realize that if she doesn't take care of herself, she can't take care of others.
Oil for Your Lamp
From Jeanne of Lansing, Michigan on 1/13/2013 .
I bought this book to share with my daughters who are busy wives and mothers. I hoped it would encourage them as their value to those around them & taking time to build their spiritual lives so they would be strengthened to give to others. It seemed to be a book written by worldly women and how they need to be their needs before their families. They can get that instruction anywhere so I returned it.

I first saw some sample quotes from this book in an email that was sent to me. I had been dealing with some issues and the quotes that were given lifted my spirits and I was inspired to buy the book. When I got it, I couldn't put it down! It is refreshing, funny, true to life and the messages re-kindled my spirit. I shared it with my daughters and they agreed it is a good book. Thank You!
Oil for you Lamp
From Diana Schreer of Lake, Michigan on 10/12/2012 .
Excellent Book! Years ago, when I was on airlines, I took exception to the idea of putting on my own oxygen, in an emergency, before putting it on my child or another person. I eventually "got" that we can't be givers if we don't have our own oil reservoir filled, first. "Oil for your Lamp" speaks volumes on this topic without preaching. It addresses the whys and the hows. I have already shared my copy and will purchase others for sharing.
Highly Recommended!

Marvelous...ALL women should follow this advice, constantly, forever.
Oil for Your Lamp is Excellent
From Anonymous of Oakdale, Minnesota on 2/7/2012 .
I bought this book for myself knowing what it was going to tell me and not necessarily wanting to hear it. But the message is important...as women we need to fill up as much as we give. The poetry and images are beautiful
Oil for your Lamp
From Anonymous of Munroe Falls, Ohio on 1/19/2012 .
This book brought a lot of truth to the fact that so many of us, as women, take care of everyone else except ourselves. It reminds me of when I am flying and the air host tells us, "Please, put your own mask on first in order to be able to help anyone else." How true. The statement that really "hit home" for me was the one in which it tells us that if we don't have a plan for our own life, we'll probably fall into the plan of someone else. And guess what plan they have for our life...not much. This is my new montra.

Oil for Your Lamp
From Marilyn Jensen of Redondo Beach, California on 11/10/2011 .
Self-care is something I'm really good at but I realize that many women aren't. So I give this book to all my friends who struggle with their weight, who have a hard time making exercise a part of their lives, and who never get enough rest or sleep. Women of all ages from all walks of life can find both inspiration and instruction on self-care in this wonderful gift book.
Good advice
From Anonymous of Locust Grove, Oklahoma on 10/26/2011 .
I need to read this daily as I do not take care of me as much as I do others! Love the book and DVD

So true!
From Carolyn Stephens of Las Vegas, Nevada on 10/8/2011 .
Lisa Hammond knows a woman's soul. She is our voice! This book is for every woman who puts herself last - that's most of us. A lovely reminder that you cannot fulfill your destiny if you are running on empty.
I recommened!!

Great book keeps you reading until the very end!
The perfect gift for moms, sisters, girlfriends ... all women!
From Jeanann Jacobs of Nottingham, New Hampshire on 10/5/2011 .
Just seeing the title "Oil For Your Lamp" conjures up the image for most women of what is, sadly, often missing from our lives......the refilling, the rejuvenation of our souls that allows us to be good mothers, daughters, sisters and grandmothers. BJ Gallagher and Lisa Hammond remind us that the never ending, self-sacrificing role drains us of our potential. We must learn to refuel to be the best and most happy version of ourselves. I've given this book as gifts to over-extended, stressed girlfriends and the look on their face tells me BJ and Lisa have struck a chord that women of all ages can relate to. This little book is one of the kindest gestures you can bestow up on working moms, co-workers being asked to do more with less, and those of us simply overwhelmed by all of our electronic communications!
A Must Read! Highly recommended!
From Anonymous of Austin, Texas on 10/4/2011 .
This is the perfect gift for any busy women that's in your life!

From Maria Iturbe of Yalaha, Florida on 3/10/2011 .

Definitely recommend
From Donna Urquia of Cutler Bay, Florida on 3/7/2011 .
I enjoyed this book too. I sometimes wish they were a little longer to reap more benefits, but as I have very little time to just "sit and read", these are absolutely wonderful books to read and spend that precious little time on yourself. Thank you.

Oil for your Lamp
From Sherry Eddington of Saint Louis, Missouri on 3/4/2011 .
"If you don't take care of yourself you can't take care of others." Oftentimes we need a gentle nudge or reminder that it's okay to nurture ourselves while we are nurturing others. This book is affirmation of the merit in doing that and the encouragement for oiling your lamp!
