This book is "same song, second verse."  This has been out for years, but
Growing Fam Int'l is trying desperately to recoup the ground they have lost
by their publisher (Multnomah) dumping them due to ethical issues last
November.  Gary & Anne Marie Ezzo have launched their own publishing company,
"Parentwise", and are republishing all their old titles.  I imagine there is
a smidgen of change -- but I don't imagine there is much improvement from the
original Birth by Design which is really dreadful.

Not sure where Doraine got her information -- According to Amazon, it was due
out in August of 2001, and is "not yet published" with publisher unknown.
Perhaps I looked at the wrong page???

I hope it has just been put on the permanent back burner.  I did see that
Mrs. Ezzo has two co-authors whom I've never heard of -- perhaps that means
it is better than the last version???

In any case, be wary of ANYTHING by the Ezzos.  Just as I would expect that
you would be very wary of anything I published on electrical engineering.
