Grandma Was Right After All! Review

I just love John Rosemond's parenting books! I have read almost all of them and couldn't wait to read this one when I saw that had come out. I have potty trained both of my boys by the time they were 2 with "Toilet Training Without Tantrums" and have been a huge fan every since.

Grandma Was Right After All! is a great, quick read. It goes through common phrases that our grandmothers might have said. They align perfectly with Rosamond's no-nonsense style of parenting. I appreciate that each section was broken down into easy-to-read paragraphs. It takes what can sometimes be overwhelming material and makes it easy to follow and comprehend.

I'm a big fan of Rosemond and recommend his books to all of my friends. Grandma Was Right After All! is no exception and I highly recommend it. I don't agree with all of his assessments of our country, but I take the big picture and appreciate his "old school" insight into parenting.

I received this book for free from Tyndale in exchange for my honest review.

Prayers for Prodigals

Parenting is often a hard and lonely road we walk. Having a prodigal child can make it even more isolated. Prayers for Prodigals is a wonderful resource for when you are feeling despair on your parenting journey. Each day is a verse to meditate on and a heartfelt prayer filled with scripture to uplifted encourage, and renew your weary soul. I especially liked having prayers when it felt like my own prayers had run dry. To have pre written prayers for your child can be such an encouragement when you are feeling lost and hopeless. This devotional will surely remind you of the power of prayer and the power of God to work in your life and your child’s. #PrayersforProdigalsUpdatedandExpanded #NetGalley

"This Thing Of Ours" Book Review

When I saw "This Thing Of Ours: How Faith Saved My Mafia Marriage" by Cammy Franzese offered by Book Sneeze, I just had to get it. I know very little about the Mafia and I thought it was incredibly interesting that a woman married to a mobster would have written a book, talking about faith of all things. "This Thing Of Ours" goes through the tumultuous years of the Franzese marriage. It tells about their meeting, engagement, marriage, jail sentences, children, and how Cammy learns and grows with each stage. I was genuinely surprised at how little she knew of her husband's involvement in the Mob, but I really enjoyed reading this book. Cammy does a great job of describing different events in her life and weaving her belief in the Lord through it all. This is book is not to read looking for perfection. She is a real person with real struggles and is clear from the start that she is not without sin. I think if you keep that in mind as you are reading, it isn't ...

Liturgies for Hope

Liturgies for Hope are the prayers we all need in this turbulent and unknown times. Sometimes when you don’t know the words to pray, reciting the heart of another’s laments, joys, hopes, and pain can be peaceful and help you to put words to your own unexpressed feelings. It’s a springboard for a deeper time of being with God. These prayers were like a balm to my soul when I was unable to put a finger to what I was feeling and thinking for a myriad of daily things both big and small. In “A Liturgy for the Aftermath of a Crisis,” I found great comfort and a sense of being seen when the authors wrote: “Would You walk this road of recovery with us, speaking peace to our fragile, forgetful minds, refreshing us with the truth that we are always sustained by Your hand?” This is just a small sampling of the truth, hope, and comfort that you will find in these pages. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to jumpstart their prayer life, infuse hope into pain, celebrate the jo...
