Family Update
We thought our two days of snow in September were unusual, until we had three snows in October, the most recent being the worst October blizzard since 1997 – over 16 inches of snow that was mixed with 40 MPH winds to result in four to give foot drifts. And to think – winter’s not even here yet.
Our biggest news, of course, concerns the healthy birth of our newest granddaughter, Sarah Elisabeth. So many of you sent positive notes and persistent prayers – all of which we appreciated so very much.
Providentially, Kate, Barb, and I were already scheduled to fly into Atlanta and so we were there for the delivery. It was a real blessing for us.
We had asked you to praying daily for Scott, Jennifer, Anna Kate, and Sarah Elisabeth. Here are the answers of our requests:
We hope all is well with you and yours.

His Brain, Her Brain Update
Barb and I are grateful that the book we co-wrote, His Brain, Her Brain: How divinely designed differences can strengthen your marriage, is still touching so many lives. And, we just heard that it’s going into its fifth printing (in just under two years). We’re grateful.
His Brain, Her Brain Review
The book continues to receive positive reviews. Here’s one just published by Lantz Howard:
This book is filled with helpful insight to “divine design” of how God created us unique in our own way so that our marriage would be more dynamic and representative of His intended purpose in the garden.
Walt does an excellent job keeping the scientific facts and evidence clear and understandable for the layperson as well as the counselor.
Is this the best book to recommend to those who are needing guidance in their marriage? Not sure. Do you like learning about chemicals in the brain and how it affects us in one way or another? Then this is a good read.
Part 1 and Part 2 of the book are devoted to building a foundation of the scientific evidence of his and her brain. This is not a textbook or dry science, Walt and Barb pieced interactive stories throughout the book to keep it moving towards pragmatics.
Yes, males and females are different, but this book allows you to see how this will help or hinder your marriage according to our brains.

Bryson City Secrets Review
We received this very kind review on the third book in the Bryson City series:
Imagine a small town nestled in the Smoky Mountains where the pace of life is slower, friends meet to eat and chat at the local drug store, and amazing gourmet meals are served up in generous portions at rustic inns.
This is exactly what awaits you in Bryson City.
In this third book by Dr Larimore, we get to know some familiar, friendly faces even more intimately and we are introduced to new and colorful personalities. Many tales are laced with abundant humor but also sorrow and death are faced. Some very poignant moments of grief and loss bring tears to your eyes and a feeling of deep sympathy towards the bereaved families.
Dr. Larimore shares the incredibly heartbreaking and true story of why he and his family left the town which they had just started to embrace as home. He shares with honesty and great sensitivity the situation through which God gave them wisdom, peace, and a real sense of His presence. The Larimore family’s rock solid faith in Jesus Christ is so apparent and inspiring. God brings light to the truth and healing begins.
Again, this book is a must read! Dr Larimore’ heartwarming storytelling keeps you laughing and crying through a book that is hard to put down.
