5.0 out of 5 stars the essay on what it means to be a mother is amazing!, October 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Everyday Miracles: Unexpected Blessings in a Mother's Day (Hardcover)

I received an excerpt of this book in an e-mail: the essay was a description of how one's life changes when you become a mother. It was the most amazing and accurate description I have ever read about the beautifully troubling work of parenting. Worth the purchase price of the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend it to EVERY mother and father!!, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Everyday Miracles: Holy Moments in a Mother's Day (Paperback)

I have read the book many times, and to this day cannot read the first chapter without crying. This book reminds me how incredibly special my children are, especially on days when it's pretty hard to remember that fact. I wish I could afford to actually give one to every person I know.... I love the book and gratefully thank Dale Bourke for writing it! What a blessing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing view of motherhood, November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Everyday Miracles: Unexpected Blessings in a Mother's Day (Hardcover)

I thoroughly enjoyed Dale's reflections about her children. As a mother of a 2-year-old, I have a better appreciation of my son through the insights that she shared. I'm now more open to what God is trying to reveal to me through my own son.

I've also recommended this book to the mothers in our Moms In Touch group, who meet to pray for the children, administrators, and staff at our children's day care.
