“ALL THAT I AM OR HOPE TO BE, I OWE TO MY ANGEL MOTHER.”-Abraham Lincoln Someone once said that having children doesn’t make you a mother.

In Mothers Have Angel Wings, Carol Kent compiles a collection of stories that tenderly remind us just how important mothers are. Written by a variety of well-known women-from Cynthia Heald to Dee Brestin to Carol Kent herself-these stories will inspire and encourage you as you face the challenges of motherhood and look back on the valuable lessons you learned from your own mom. “Mothers, like angels, are messengers of God.”-Carol Kent

This review is from: Mothers Have Angel Wings: A Tribute to the Tears and Triumphs of Being a Mom (Paperback)
I bought this book after hearing Carol Kent speak at a Mother's conference. It is very easy reading and provides you with short inspirational stories about Mother's. Bible verses are referenced for each individual story to find more inspiratation. I thoroughly enjoyed this light reading.
