I am the 12 yr old daughter mentioned in this book. Anyone who knows me would say I'm not biased, it is with the utmost objectivity that I can humbly say I thoroughly enjoyed my mother's book. Obviously I remembered some of the history since I am one of her children, but most of the book was new to me. As I read this book and was intrigued by the profound experiences of the writer, I periodically reminded myself that this was my own mother I was reading about. I was glued to the book and realized that I never sat down to read it but stood in my kitchen readung it from beginning to end. I would give an excellent review on this book if it had been someone I never met, but feel extra proud to be able to claim the personal tie to this author. Great job mom! It's entirely possible that millions of people will relate ...to your story!

I loved reading a book about an older woman that was so realistic and heartwarming. Her family like most of ours has lots of problems and her natural momma instinct is to try to fix it all. Although things are at first going downhill she pulls it out in the end with a little help  and several fervent prayers. The use of scripture is never preachy or over done. I learned a lot about macular degeneration something my own mother suffered from as well.
Well done!

While playing the "Joy is Waiting" cd for my mother-in-law, other family members could hear Carla's beautiful voice singing one of my favorite songs "Because He Lives"! One by one, people entered the room and began singing the song with her. It was like an "old time religion" gathering. Carla has His joy, deep in her heart!

The stories and principles in this book encourage and inspire mothers to earnestly pray for their children. A perfect gift for moms, "Prayer Warrior Mom" serves as both a "thank you" and a reminder to those who love us best and care for us most.

WONDERFUL adventure story of a mom and her kids!  As a very active family, I was inspired to add some new things into our lives.  This is the kind of lifestyle that makes well rounded kids into well rounded adults!

Mom's the Word by Marilynn Griffith is fun mom-lit with a faithful twist. Karol Simon's life has shrunk from being a successful business woman with dreams of being a writer to being a frazzled wife and mother. When her best friend Hope moves from next door, and the new neighbor is a skinny, type-A career woman named Dyanne, Karol is angry at not only the loss of Hope, but at her husband's betrayal in sending her away. To make up for it, her hubby gives her 21 days of vacation from motherhood: no chores, worrying about the kids, and no one to call her Mom! Karol needs to decide if she has the courage to try to dream again. Griffith is a fantastic writer, and this book is evidence of her ability to juggle multiple plots with ease. Between Karol, Dyanne, and several intriguing subplots, the story flies! Karol is a mom so many can relate to: she loves her husband and kids, but she wants to be something more than just a mom and to use the gifts that God gave her. Learning to juggle motherhood with individuality is a struggle most moms face, and Griffith depicts Karol's yearning to be a writer with depth, heart, and humor.

Hey mom! Yeah, you. The one who feels like she is alone in this journey. The one who doesnt think any of those other moms know what she is going through. Do I have your attention? Good!
You are not alone mom. You have a whole band of us that feel the same way. That are going through the same things. We need to get together and hold each other up. Keep each other strong. Jill Savage has written a great book to help us with that! You need to grab your own copy of Better Together Because Youre Not Meant to Mom Alone.

"World's Okayest Mom" has been a running joke with several of my other mom friends. When I came across this shirt, I simply HAD to get it. We have all heard the saying or seen it plastered on keepsakes, "World's Greatest Mom" .. Come on, who are we kidding? Being a mom is hard work. Kids constantly test your limits and push your buttons. While I am certain we are all doing the best we can, I will be the first one to admit I am not the greatest. I wear my tshirt with pride and laugh at the sanctimonious people who do not quite find the same humor in it as I do.

I love the shirt. Great quality, though it does run a tiny bit small. Has withstood many many washes at this point and the print is still good as new, although it does come with a "distressed" look.

I would totally recommend this shirt to all you other OKAY moms!

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my evaluation and to provide my personal, honest, and unbiased opinion. My review is solely based on my own personal experience with this product.

If I could only recommend one book for mothers, it would be "Mothers of the Bible Speak to Mothers of Today" by Kathi Macias.

In this uplifting study of some of the most well-known and some not-as-well-known mothers of the Bible, Kathi Macias provides an in-depth look into what we can learn from Eve, Sarah, Hannah, The Proverbs 31 Woman, Jesus's mother, Mary and others.

In my own reading of the Bible and as a Sunday school teacher I have had the chance to study some of these Biblical mothers, but Macias's books always manage to teach me something or provide me a perspective that I had never thought of before. From the author's chapter on how Eve was a mother without a role model to how Eunice and Lois--like all mothers and grandmothers--train up a child in the way he should go and then make the hard decision to pass the torch onto the next generation, Macias discusses the traits these women of the Bible exhibited and how they worked into God's plan.

One of the chapters is dedicated to the virtuous woman from Proverbs 31. Macias wrote an entire book on her journey to become like the virtuous woman and what she learned along the way. Some of that is featured in Chapter 14 of Mothers of the Bible Speak to Mothers of Today. It is wise that she includes the virtuous woman in this book as well because as Macias says on Page 231, "Understanding that this 'perfect woman' is more of a composite of many women, rather than a portrait of one, makes looking in the mirror and searching for her reflection a lot less discouraging...Even the most devoted wife, woman, mother, and/or businesswoman can't do it all--and certainly not all at once!"

Each chapter is preceded by a quotation from a variety of people, and each chapter ends with more quotations that fit the chapter's theme, questions to "think about and enter in your journal" and "A Mother's Prayer".

"Mothers of the Bible Speak to Mothers of Today" by Kathi Macias will inspire you, lift you up, and encourage you along your journey as a Christian mother. A perfect Mother's Day or birthday gift, no mother will be left untouched by this book!
