The Better Mom
Author: Ruth Schwenk

Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."

Book Description
Shortly after the tragedy that we now know as '9-11', Bryce Ross flew across the country to bare witness to his aunt's last will and testament. The choices he made, as well as the resulting events that followed, changed his life and our futures forever. His determination to expose questionable facts and circumstances involving the Kennedy Assassination provided him with the motivation to adhere to the passionate and obsessive terms of a substantially funded trust that was created by his late uncle. Freedom is a choice that we all take for granted. A government of the people is what fosters our liberties and protects them from coming under the control of others. Bryce considers whether wealth should be allowed to continue its dominance over our trusted and elected officials when the pressure reveals itself to be life-threatening.

I Quit
Author: Kristina Schnack Kotlus
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing
ISBN: 1642795321
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
This candid, funny account of coping with serious illness is a rallying cry for anyone facing a difficult situation. When she found herself diagnosed with brain cancer for the second time, Kristina Kotlus chose to quit on day one. But quitting didn’t mean giving up. It meant a whole new lease on life. Rejecting the impulse to worry or try to control things she couldn’t, resisting all the advice to “fight” and be a “warrior,” she simply resolved to do what she could, admit she needed help (and lots of it), and put her faith in God. In this inspiring memoir, Kristina shares how she survived both diagnoses—with the support of her family, friends, and faith—in a relatable, funny way, from her original diagnosis to finding doctors to telling her kids (hint: make someone else do it). She shares openly and honestly, with just a touch of sarcasm and a heavy dose of humor and faith, and encourages readers to decide that it’s time to stand up, wash the tears off their face, and keep going.
