If you're looking for a treasure to encourage a woman in any season of momhood, this book is packed with stories that pass along wisdom and hope. The lavender textured cover is sturdy enough to survive a long, hot soak in the tub (I speak from experience.)

Inside are 40 short chapters on relevant topics moms of all generations deal with today, such as blended families, caring for aging parents, teaching faith to our children, seeking forgiveness, and simplicity.

Here's a book moms can enjoy reading for themselves, and it also makes a useful tool for group settings. Each section begins with three introductory questions that help relate the topic to your own life. Then there's a quick Bible lesson that is designed to stimulate thinking and spiritual growth. Next is a real-life story by a mom who encountered a struggle and found God's help and wisdom to get through it. This is followed by an action step for readers to take, as well as a prayer.

Having a book like this one can help simplify the task of leading small group discussions, Bible studies, Sunday school classes, and mentoring relationships. At the Soul Matters website, you'll find a complimentary leader's guide that covers ten of the topics in the book.
