"For those Yes-aholics whose lives blur hectic, Mary Byers comes alongside, offering practical no-saying advice. How to Say No and Live to Tell About It helps readers understand that busyness is not synonymous with worth and the tyranny of 'should' can clutter already-hectic schedules. For those afraid of exercising the 'no' muscle, say YES to the message of this book."
Mary E. DeMuth, author of Ordinary Mom, Extraordinary God


"Say YES to Mary Byers wonderful new book—and to living with passion and purpose. A must-read for every woman!"
Cyndy Salzmann, author of Making Your Home a Haven and The Occasional Cook


"Say YES to reading this book because the one word that every wife, mother, and woman should be learning to say along with her toddler is a resounding 'No!' Mary Byers has nailed it! This excellent, practical manual shows all of us how to say no with grace compassion, and practice. Mary has convinced me to become a recovering Yesaholic! 'No' is the word that gives all of us the freedom to truly live the priorities we profess to possess."
Cindy Sigler Dagnan, speaker and author of The Chocolate Side of Life and Who Got Peanut Butter on My Daily Planner?


"In a world of stressed out women, Mary points the way to sanity and serenity in practical ways."
Pam Farrel, author of The 10 Best Decisions a Woman Can Make and Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti


"Mary's book will help you to better know yourself so you can say a resounding 'Yes' to the strengths and desires God has placed inside of you. A practical guide on personal boundaries and purposeful living for every busy woman."
Dr. Todd Cartmell, author of Raising Respectful Kids and Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry


"This book offers hope and help for a disease that is epidemic in our 'hurry up, can't say no' culture. In my seminars, I teach and coach busy leaders who need to learn that 'less really is more' if they want to lead and still have a life at the end of the day. This book will show women that saying 'No thank you' can set them free to say 'Yes I'd love to' when it counts!"
H. Dale Burke, author of How to Lead and Still Have a Life
