What greater compliment can I give a book written to moms than to hand a copy to my wife and ask, "Are you up for reading something extremely helpful and practical when it comes to parenting?"
Susie Larson is a stranger to me, but after just one chapter I felt like I knew her. Her humble and honest journey to become a parent who honors God and raises kids to do the same is refreshing. Instead of dishing out self-help principles with a Bible verse attached, Susie shares deep values she's come to own through a merging of Scripture and her own experience.
It seems as though all parents already feel guilty for what they aren't doing. This author will empower them to find the hooks in those gaps and lead their kids (even the most stubborn) to better consider living out the story of God.
