Customer Reviews

LOVE this book....

I have to say, I bought this book on a whim...liked the sound of the title, and didnt even research it. Wow...God knew this is what I needed!(hence how I stubbled onto it) This book is beyond amazing. I was starting to get burned out being a stay at home mom, questioning if I was really doing the best for my children being home with them, and overwhelmed with the daily never ending duties that come along with all of it. Ladd talks to you like you are human, not superwomen, and makes you see that your struggles are everyones struggles and that you are normal. Since I started reading this book, I have felt a huge turn around in my own attitude and it reminds me how much what I do means something. This book is written perfectly. Each chapter is on a normal everyday struggle, it provides scripture to read pertaining to the topic, a prayer at the end of the section, AND activities to do to help you reinforce what you just read (so it doesnt go in one ear and out the other:) PLEASE PLEASE make this a book you get, I will be giving it to friend and family as gifts, that is for sure! Thank you Karol Ladd, you helped me see my way out of my rut!

Life changing

With three kids (one in high school, two in middle school) and the constant negative influences in all of our lives, I really needed this book. For those of us that don't have a consistently positive attitude and are at a place with our teens wondering "how did we get to this point?", this book offers the gentle awareness that we need. But the best part is rather than trying to answer that question, the author gives much needed advise on how to do it right from here on out. I have applied some of her teaching and have seen instant and dramatic changes in my family's life. I plan on rereading the book with more focus on the scriptures she calls out to review. I urge anyone with a wayward teen to turn to this book. (this refers to the paperback edition)

I recommend this book for every mom!

No matter where you are in your journey of motherhood, this book will have something for you. I can't speak highly enough of the challenge and encouragement that I came away with, after reading this book. The author is very down-to-earth about motherhood and how we can really enhance our families and homes, always backing up what she says with scripture. This is a book I will keep on my shelf and read again someday.

Required Reading for All Moms

What a great book! Practical priniciples presented in a mom-perspective. It switched my outlook on how I am with my kids (ages 9, 3, 2, and newborn)-- all for the better.I recommend this reading for moms, especially those moms who feel that they are always "challenged" by their kids.
