My Thoughts:
I am always looking for ways to grow as a parent and a Christian. This book really caught my eye, because lately, I have felt like just the everyday stresses of life, compounded by a bit of a curve ball that hit last year has definitely turned me into a bit more of a "cranky" mom.
I found this devotional to be just what a needed, offering some great advice and taking me through God's Word. Boy, Becky sure hit the nail on the head! She wrote about so many things I struggle with. She gave some really great pointers and Scripture on how to act, react, and become the Mom God wants us to be.
I am still working through the individual questions and study at the end of the chapters. I did a quick read through and am going back to really do a deeper study with all the verses included.
I feel like this would be a wonderful asset to many mom's out there. It would make a great personal or group study.
I know I myself have been convicted while reading through this book, but I have also been encouraged that I can tame the "momster" inside and become grace filled and a kinder, gentler parent when I put these principles into practice.
I would definitely recommend this book!
