- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5She uses stories of her life to portray truths from the Bible beautifully. It’s a very encouraging book for all kinds of moms ( work outside the home, homeschool, stay at home etc).
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I would have liked it even better if the quoted bible verses were read in the audio book. It’s easier for me that way. I guess I will have to read the book itself when I have the chance
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Glad there is finally a realistic and sensible Christian book about raising kids that isn't a bore to read. Very encouraging and easy to read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great encouragement for moms
It took me awhile to actually finish this book and I wondered at first had I gotten much out of it. However when j went back through my notes I realized that there were many pearls of wisdom gleamed front this light read. So I reread most of it! It was so encouraging. As a mom of 6 it is easy to feel like I am completely messing them up sometimes but ultimately God is in control and has a great plan for my kids and I. We all need to be reminded of this at times.
