A Tribute to All MothersLoren Slocum knows what it means to be an outstanding mother-because she's grateful for every moment she spends with her son. But she's noticed that many moms out there don't receive the praise they deserve for the amazing sacrifices they make each and every day. No Greater Love is her gift to mothers everywhere, congratulating them for being extraordinary, and encouraging them to celebrate the miracles and opportunities of motherhood.Mothers have enough "how to" books, but No Greater Love is something much more powerful-a "how to be" book. As they try to balance their many changing roles, a little bit of soul searching can help shift their perspective and enable them to reach their full potential. Mothers need to acknowledge themselves, and make their own dreams a priority; they need to treat themselves with the same level of caring they give to others. When mothers nourish themselves, they build a better foundation for their children.By honestly answering the questions presented in this book, you will set a standard for the mother you know you can be-the type of mother who sets an inspiring example for her child, her family, and for all others whose lives she touches. Slocum's inspirational message will nurture you, challenge you to grow, and transform your feelings of weariness or exhaustion into excitement, passion, and energy. You will rediscover your own imagination and take joy in playtime with your child.No Greater Love has striking photographs that reflect and illuminate the gentle wisdom that resonates within each page. Its unique format includes inspirational quotes, original definitions and creative "mom notes." It tenderly compares birth to the beginning of a magical journey, celebration to a party that delights the soul, and motherhood to the shepherding of hope. Moms can reflect on a series of questions that will help them to be mindful and present: What is my baby going to teach me today? How can I be even more patient today? What made me smile today?The simplest moments can impact our children forever. You and your child can share in so many adventures together, from your child's first steps to his or her first time on ice skates. You can show your child new things like animals, sandcastles, puddles, or rainbows. Our children learn from our example and our actions-the greatest gift you can give your children is to be someone they can admire.No Greater Love recognizes that every day is mother's day. It defines motherhood as . . . truly loving your child . . . being curious with your child . . . being present with your child . . . playing with your child . . . showing your child what is possible . . . teaching and learning with your child . . . and having gratitude and faith. No Greater Love is full of profound grace that will touch your heart.AUTHORBIO: Loren Slocum is the crew director for the Anthony Robbins Companies, and has been responsible for the training and event management of thousands of volunteers worldwide.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"Wow! We've finally got it, a self-help book for mommies, helping them to take the magnificent role they play to a new level in the new millennium." --Mark Victor Hansen, coauthor of the #1 New York Times best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series
"Filled with beautiful photos and the wonder of a child's eyes, Loren Slocum's No Greater Love guides you through the blessing and adventure of motherhood." --Anthony Robbins
"New parents will find No Greater Love a useful addition to their baby-care library. The information in this book, besides being fun to read, will help new moms and dads accomplish two of the most important goals of parenting: to get connected and enjoy their baby." --William Sears, M.D., co-author of The Baby Book
"No Greater Love reminds one to teach, to learn, to grow, and, most of all, reminds us (mothers and friends) of all we have to be grateful for." --Kathy Buckley, comedian
"No Greater Love is not a 'how-to' book for raising children nor does it focus on developmental milestones or other benchmarks for childrearing. Rather, it is truly a beautiful experience...as Slocum notes, 'a celebration of motherhood.' Exquisite portraits of babies define the essentials of motherhood, including reflection, curiosity, exploring the possibilities of our world, and just taking time to 'smell to roses' with our babies. No Greater Love investigates the soul of the mother-child bond, presented in a sensitive and exquisite fashion." --Ruth A. Peters, PH.D., author of It's Never Too Soon, Don't Be Afraid to Discipline, and Who's in Charge?
"No Greater Love is truly a gift that will remind you to parent with your heart and to cherish the journey." --John Gray, PH.D., author of the Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus series

"For my children" There #1 raving fan.....(there DAD).,
This review is from: No Greater Love: Being an Extraordinary Mom (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for my wife for Christmas. I found myself Christmas Day unable to put the book down, (before she had a chance to read it). I believe that I am an awesome father. I have rasied our children using a guide that you must focus on six things. #1 Disipline your children. #2. Spend lots of time with them. #3. Set a good example. #4. Have lots of activities planned. #5. Set high ideals. #6. Teach them about God. Using this guide has worked wonders, and I am very proud, and very focused to there needs, and accompolishments. However after reading this book, I almost feel like I had only scratched the surface. This book is so far outside what I dreamed possiable. You might think at this point that though it was centered tords you moms out there,however the results dads can have are just as equal. I have never in my life been filled with more love, sprit, focus, and a daily plan that was so clearly spelled out in Loren's book "No Greater Love". I was so totally embrased by this book, and how easy it was to follow the techniques, and stradigies. One of the greatest tools this book offers is how important it is to stay in the moment. The morning questions, and daily questions re-frame for you what rasing extrodnary children require from me to excell the kids into greatness. Loren, I would like thank you with all the love, and sprit in my heart for writing this book and the extrodnary results my family will experience, and benifit from this amazing book, you are a very gifted soul. I would reccommend that a potential reader not let one more day pass without reading and incorporating this pricless information found in this book into your childrens, and your personal life. I have never read anything like this in my life, and as you can tell that I have total certainty that it will totally guide you on the path of taking your relationship with your children to the next level, and the next. Thank you so much, you have touched, and showed a very loving family on how to make it even better. With the greatest affection, and LOVE. The Albins: Davey-6, Virginia-3 1/2, Stasia..(mom) David..(dad). God Bless.."You will LOVE this book".

A Gift to Women Everywhere,
By Erika (Manhattan Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Greater Love: Being an Extraordinary Mom (Hardcover)
What an incredible gift Loren has given all of us. No Greater Love is going down in my mental roladex as a gift to all expectant moms (and any mom, for that matter). Way better than clothes at a baby shower! I've given it to my mom, a friend to his mom, and a friend with two young children. They all adored it. My friends who have seen the book all want to give it to their friends. A definite must for Oprah's book club! This book is a true gift to anyone that reads it. It exemplifies Loren's passion, joy, gratitude and love of motherhood. This book would help the world be a better place if it became manadatory reading. I hope someday this book will guide me through the "ultimate challenge and the ultimate gift" of motherhood. Thank you, Loren, for such a magical gift to mothers everywhere!

Do you ever wonder?,
This review is from: No Greater Love: Being an Extraordinary Mom (Hardcover)
When I got my 'No Greater Love: Being an Extraordinary Mom' order from Amazon, I took a copy to my office to show my co-workers. They were amazed that someone that looks so young could have so much insight and such a passion for motherhood and life ... So, it made me wonder; do others ever wonder whether the author of a book as fantastic as 'No Greater Love: Being an Extraordinary Mom,' believes and/or lives in her every day life what she writes and where did she learn all this great stuff? Well, I've known Loren since she was born. I was introduced to her parents a year before she was born. And, I am here to say, Loren has written this book from the heart incorporating mothering lessons she learned from her mother, Arlene, and a passion for life which she inherited from her father, Joseph, and her mother. And, having attended her wedding in Fiji and visiting her and her family as they travel around the world, I can safely say, she walks her talk and deeply touches everyone she comes in contact with. (I know, don't end a sentence with a preposition ...) She's really produced a masterpiece! Great work little sister. I'm really proud of you. Love, your big brother, David
