This review is from: Mothering Without Guilt: You and God, You and Others, You and Your Kids (Mom's Ordinary Day Bible Study Series, A) (Paperback)

We are using this Bible study with the mothers from our Kids Day Out program at church. We have brand new moms as well as moms with teenagers attending. Everyone is learning how our value and worth is not found in how nutritious our kids' snacks are or how well behaved they are in public, but instead, our worth and value comes from God. What a great study to reaffirm your relationship with Christ and reassure us moms that our job as the caregiver and Christ-like example to our children is the most important job God could have ever given us--and there is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ. Great Bible study!
