5.0 out of 5 stars A meaningful book of simple spirituality for busy moms, March 11, 2001

By	Debi Stack (USA) - See all my reviews

You know how toddlers and preschoolers often have a favorite blanket or plush toy that they use as a comforter? That's what I want to do with the pages of this book: Wrap them around me until I feel better.

Laura Sabin Riley has crafted a meaningful book of spiritual simplicity for busy women and maxed out moms. The easy-to-read devotionals remind me daily not just of how important motherhood is, but also how important my relationship to God is! Each is contained on a single page and consists of a relevant Scripture, a real-life example from Laura's own life and a short but honest prayer. No where is there a condeming word or pointing finger. Every where, there is a brief brush with grace -- just enough to make me feel that a really good friend has patted my hand and told me that yes, the orange juice will come out of the car upholstery and no, these intense days of parenting won't last forever.

All Mothers Are Working Mothers is divided into twelve sections (one for each month) that address "home-is-my-workplace" issues. I especially like November's theme: "Job Security -- What Do You Mean I'm Not Replaceable If I Decide to Quit?" If you're a mom, get this book. If you know a mom, get this book for her. The benefits of reading it could literally be felt for generations to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars A break for busy moms, March 2, 2001

By	T. Suzanne Eller (Beautiful Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

Laura Sabin Riley offers a quiet moment away from the challenges, joys, and duties of a working mom. After all, all mothers are working moms and need a breather to enjoy a quiet word from God to boost their day. It's right by my bedside where I can start with a daily devotion each morning.

Way to go Laura! As a working Father of two, Laura has inspired me to focus on the needs and challenges faced by my wife everyday. When does the sequel ship?
