Book Description

Barbour Value Paperback November 1, 2004
Busy mothers need encouragement, community, and, sometimes, a counselor on speed dial! Dena Dyer — herself a busy young mom — uses real-life stories, scripture, and gentle humor to soothe the souls of frazzled females. By being honest and vulnerable about the ways God has shown Himself to her as she's struggled with motherhood, Dena hopes to help moms realize that they're not alone—and they're not crazy! She says, "I surely don’t have it all together (in fact, I usually can't even find it all), but I do have a Coach who holds me together. And I long to come alongside you as a fellow runner, not an expert, to cheer you on in your daily race."

Endorsements:

With complete honesty and "been there, done that" humor, Dena Dyer's Grace for the Race: Meditations for Busy Moms treats us moms to the very things we need most...understanding, laughter, and soul rest.

---Lisa Espinoza Johnson, author of Days of Whine and Noses--Pep Talks for Tuckered Out Moms

Dena Dyer writes this encouraging devotional with vulnerability and wisdom which will refresh the hearts of busy moms in whatever season of life they find themselves.

---Cheri Fuller, speaker and author of the bestselling When Mothers Pray, The Mom You're Meant to Be, and other books

Dena Dyer's Grace for the Race reminds me of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gifts from the Sea. I love her poignant reflections.

---Marsha Marks, author of If I Ignore it, It will Go Away and Other Lies I Thought Were True

As a mother of seven, I appreciate a book that allows me to escape the hectic pace of motherhood and take an oasis break for a moment or two. Dena Dyer has created a delightful haven with words for busy moms. I highly recommend this wonderful book. In one gentle stroke it will lighten your load, rejuvenate your sense of fun, and refresh your spirit. ---Ellie Kay, "America's Financial Expert" (R) and author of eight books including A Woman's Guide to Family Finance

More About the Author

As a busy mom, wife, author, and speaker, I adore my life-but there are days when I want my own mommy! Thankfully, I have God, my mom, and a Christian counselor on speed dial. I'm married to a great guy, and we have two boys. When I'm not desperately trying to find my keys or cell phone, I enjoy writing articles, essays and books. My credits include Let the Laugh Lines and Wrinkles Come (Barbour, 2010), Mothers of the Bible (Barbour, 2009), Grace for the Race: Meditations for Busy Moms (Barbour, 2004), The Groovy Chicks' Road Trip to Peace and The Groovy Chicks' Road Trip to Love (Cook, 2005 and 2006, co-compiled with Laurie Barker Copeland), and magazines such as Family Circle, Parenting, and Writer's Digest. Some of my interests are traveling, blogging, and reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm Chuckles and Helpful Ah-has, April 2, 2005
This review is from: Grace for the Race: Meditations for Busy Moms (Paperback)
As a mom of five, it's so great to find an author who understands my sprint. Dena Dyer has put together a dynamite book of motherly meditations. Moms, grab your latte (though we all know most busy mothers have to settle for a quick half-cup of luke warm instant coffee-like-product) and pick up GRACE FOR THE RACE. You'll find warm chuckles and some helpful "ah-ha" moments as you head for the finish. Great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Blessing, March 28, 2005
This review is from: Grace for the Race: Meditations for Busy Moms (Paperback)
Dena's book was the perfect thing to read in the car with my 3 kids. She has a way of making the reader understand that all moms go through struggles- even the ones who make it look so easy. I couldn't turn to the next story quick enough. I can't wait for her next book to come out

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't come any better than this!!!, February 8, 2005
This review is from: Grace for the Race: Meditations for Busy Moms (Paperback)
Dena's reflections on life as a young mother bring your own daily challenges into focus. She shares her heart. She shows her heart. This book is written in a way that you can easily pick up where you last left off. The chapters are small enough that you don't need alot of time to read them, yet long enough to inspire you to challenge your toddler to a broccoli duo!!! Awesome wife, mother and author!!
