The Connected Parent

The Connected Parent is a must-read for any foster and/or adoptive parent, teacher, church childcare worker, as well as for parents who’s children have gone through a trauma. I love how it combines the theory/research side of connecting with your child and the life experiences of an adoptive mother. The Connected Parent offers the practical step by step lists you are looking for when you feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to connect. I loved how each chapter included real-life stories from Lisa Qualls with the gentle wisdom and research of Dr. Karyn Purvis. It ended with a much needed practical guide and next steps. I found myself highlighting the scripts and using them immediately. This is a timely book and I’m so grateful for the wisdom, honesty, and authenticity. It gives hope to parents and caregivers and I’m thankful for the knowledge and tips I’ve learned!
I received this book from the publisher, but my opinions are my own.

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

I loved each section and felt like the size of each devotional made it so it was not overwhelming for my family to do together. It’s a privilege and blessing to pray over and with my children and I’m grateful for this book to be able to have a quick and easy way to impart truth, love, and encouragement into my kids. Thank you to Net Galley for this copy, my opinions are my own.

Dangerous Love: A True Story of Tragedy, Faith, and Forgiveness Review

Wow! I was not able to put down Dangerous Love. It is a riveting, heartbreaking, faith inspiring true story about a father and daughter who must face the unthinkable: forgiveness in the face of no remorse. Ray and his daughter Hannah show true love that only comes from faith in Christ. Living in Mauritania as World Relief workers, they see the good, the bad, and the ugly of cross cultural living. Throughout the whole book, you are amazed at their faith and the love they show. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to see their faith in God restored. It's such an uplifting and incredible reminder of how God's love for us is like Ray and Hannah and their family's love shown to their attacker. Completely undeserved...but what an amazing God we serve who not only showed us this love but enables us to shower others with it, too. A must read!!
