Book Review: A Mom's Prayers for Her Son by Rob & Joanna Teigen

Praying for our children is one of the most important things (if not the most important) we can do for them. I have two sons and one daughter. I pray for them everyday. Prayer is my lifeline in raising my children. I love this book! A Mom's Prayers for Her Son covers prayers for every area of your son's life. There are 77 topics in the book such as When He's Falling into Addiction, When His Faith Is Shaken, When He's in the Wrong Crowd, When He's Feeling Depressed, and When I Don't Know What to Pray. The topics are all related to what a young man may face or struggle with spiritually, socially, emotionally, and relationally. Self-control. Anger. Courage. Pride. Doubts. Competitiveness. Rebellion. The book also includes encouraging stories from moms about how God has answered their prayers for their sons. God knows our son(s) best and loves them more than we can ever imagine so it's wise for us to ask Him for help, wisdom, guidance, protection, etc.

Each topic begins with Scriptures. Each prayer is Biblically-grounded and filled with love and faith. When I pray these prayers in the book, I often include my daughter, too, since most prayers can be applied to daughters. I highly recommend this helpful book to every praying mom who has a son and every praying grandma who has a grandson!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study. I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
