God's timing is always perfect!
Jan 11 2012
By Amy Ekblad
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I received this book at a time when I was struggling with just about everything. As a mother of 10 children ages 4 months to 20 years I was really feeling at the end of my rope. I had prayed to God for a life preserver and I'm not exaggerating when I say I think this book was it. It reminded me of why I do what I do and gave me valuable (and realistic) tips on how to enhance my mothering and my prayer life as well as how to be a better wife, friend, and daughter of God. I cannot recommend this book enough. I have dog eared pages and plan to go back and highlight as well. This book should be read by mothers young and old.

In Embracing Motherhood, Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle does what she does so well: she brings the warm embrace of Christ's love and Church teaching to a point that's accessible and relevant to modern moms. She reaches out, across the pages, to encourage and challenge women in their unique vocations as mothers.

Indispensable
Dec 23 2011
By B. ONeel
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The first question first-time parents often ask themselves? "Where's the instruction manual?" (If we veteran parents, married or single, are honest, we often ask it, too, don't we?) Parenthood in general is bewildering. Add raising your kids' as good, practicing Catholic Christians, and it's doubly, no, triply so. What to do? Simple. Read the instruction manual. That is, read this book. It's practical, its wisdom accessible to anyone, and best of all, it will help mothers help themselves be the best parents possible. ~ Brian O'Neel, author, 39 New Saints You Should Know
