I am a first-time mom with a 2 month old son. I also have tremendous respect for Bishop Jakes and believe that the wisdom that flows from him can ONLY come from God, so this book was right on time. I am savoring each page of the book. It is very refreshing to read what his wife says as well. It's the kind of book that you can curl up with on a quiet evening with a delicious cup of coffee and thoroughly enjoy. I'm reading it because I desire to make an impact on my son's life, just as Bishop Jakes' mom impacted him. My expectations are being met above and beyond. Get this book!!!

I love my mom. She drives me crazy, but she also have taught me great lessons in life I carry with me as a testimate to her love for me.

In listening to Richard Allen narrating Bishop T.D. Jakes book Mama Made the Difference(seven cds, nine hours, Unabridged). It stired emotions, which is what a good audio presentation should do. Allen tries a straight narrative format, rather than trying for character voices in this presentation. He also does not try to mimic Bishop Jakes vocal styles, that would be a wasted effort.

Author Jakes takes on the subject of Mothers by relating to his own life lessons he learned with his mother, bible teaching and cases of other people's mothers. It does not preach to the audience, more over it informs and makes you aware without heavy sermons. After I heard the first CD from this audio book, I wanted to call my mom and tell her how much I love her.

In audio format, the unabridged text of this book moved quicker> I only wish Bishop Jakes would have spoken something on this CD book

I am late for this mother days to give these to friends as gift. Well there is always Christmas for my friends who are mothers--maybe you should think about getting this for your mom with a dozen roses and tell her you love her

I had resisted buying this book because I am not a mother and had just lost my precious Mom and was afraid it would make me sad. NOT! This is one of the two most inspiring books Bishop Jakes has written; he speaks to women of all walks of life: married, single, mothers, non-mothers...My copy is "dog-eared", marked in, has pages turned down, cover is getting worn....Bishop Jakes encourages us to NEVER give up, it is NEVER too late with God, that we are "surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses" who are cheering us on, that we are DESTINED to follow the courage and strength of those who have gone before from generations past....I want to rise up and shout GLORY as I read this book....We are blessed to have this teaching and encouragement and I thank God!
PS: And, IMHO, Jakes' other "best book" is "The Lady, Her Lover, Her Lord." It is awesome.

Although Mother's Day only happens once a year, this audio reminds us just how important mothers are in most people's lives. Bishop Jakes shares personal stories about the experiences he shared with his mother along with the lessons and values she taught him, especially in the areas of life, love and longevity. He also includes biblical stories about mothers, along with testimonials from other prominent African-American figures about the importance of motherhood. More reviews at [...]

If you have an good mother like I was blessed with, I would like to recommend for you to read about other good mothers and the relationships that they have had with their children. This book was awesome. Thank God for mama's always being there inspite of the hurt and differences in our life!!!
