I really wished I had this book when my kids were younger. However, it did give me answers that could still help me with my kids and my my granddaughter.

Unless your perfect, and I would like to meet you if that is the case, than you have probably asked yourself one or two of these questions while raising your child. I have! I found this book funny and relatable and I enjoyed the read and the take aways.

Dannah Gresh has written a honest, funny, and gritty book about the questions every mom needs to ask herself. You are probably already asking yourself questions like these without even knowing it:

Am I messing up my kids?
Should I work or stay at home?
Should we do sleepovers?
How do I keep my kids from walking away from the faith?
Should my child have a cell phone?
At what age should be have “the talk,” and should I tell them about my past?
Should I allow my child to have the Gardasil vaccine?

These questions have struck fear into my heart many times. Like an older, wiser girlfriend, Dannah offers wise, heartfelt, humble answers with a big dose of laughter. She helped me examine different angles on these important questions, and I appreciate that all her answers were grounded in God’s Word.

If you know a fearful mom, or if you are one, this book will help you face the crucial decisions of motherhood with confidence. You will be enabled to practice intentional parenting with greater faith.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me a free review copy.

The book is a support guide for Christian mothers who, during the upbringing of their children, face certain situations whose repercussions are considered important, mainly because they would affect in the long term in the life of their children, and also they are essential part of the human life . It is organized around 20 questions, which the author responds in a sensitive and open manner, uses criteria that have practical use, even relies on some references of non-religious documents but all arguments are always directed to affirm the "principles of the Bible."
The author is very courageous in some of her opinions regarding the work of the evangelical community, which has done a bad job responding to the pain of families facing homosexuality and gender issues, and also she says that it is important to help them find true solutions .
My qualification is partial because I have not had the experience of being a Christian, I respect religious beliefs, I find it enriching and valuable, but I can not give an opinion about the references of the Bible or its interpretation.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
