This review is from: Chasing God and the Kids Too: Balancing a Mom's Most Important Pursuits (Paperback)

I think this book is one that the "Proverbs 31 Woman" could get tips from. This is one of the best books on "balance" I have read. Cheryl Carter not only gives solid spiritual insight but great practical advice for BUSY working mothers - who love God and love their families. How does she do it all...with grace and by reading this book! The Tazmania Mom would run and catch her breath after a chapter or two. Loved it - it's better than a seminar!

I heard Cheryl Carter speak at a Homeschool Convention and later purchased this book from her at her table. Wow, am I glad! This book is amazing and has sooo many practical ways to help us moms out. Not to mention she has jam packed it with so much scripture! I am so thankful to have read this book, I will be rereading and using it as a reference. It has already helped me with my relationship with God. Thank you Cheryl!
