This review is from: Power of a Positive Mom (Paperback)

As a mom to four kids, ages 9 to 22, I encourage all mothers to buy this book. Karol's principles of encouragement, prayer, a good attitude, and several others offer sound advice framed around engaging stories and very practical examples. I just wish I had it sooner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading for All Moms, May 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Power of a Positive Mom (Paperback)

What a great book! Practical priniciples presented in a mom-perspective. It switched my outlook on how I am with my kids (ages 9, 3, 2, and newborn)-- all for the better.
I recommend this reading for moms, especially those moms who feel that they are always "challenged" by their kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing, May 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Power of a Positive Mom (Audio CD)

With three kids (one in high school, two in middle school) and the constant negative influences in all of our lives, I really needed this book. For those of us that don't have a consistently positive attitude and are at a place with our teens wondering "how did we get to this point?", this book offers the gentle awareness that we need. But the best part is rather than trying to answer that question, the author gives much needed advise on how to do it right from here on out. I have applied some of her teaching and have seen instant and dramatic changes in my family's life. I plan on rereading the book with more focus on the scriptures she calls out to review. I urge anyone with a wayward teen to turn to this book. (this refers to the paperback edition)
