Rachael Carman provides an insightful and thought-provoking book organized around phrases commonly used by parents.  In each section she encourages the reader to think about not only how using the phrase impacts a child, but what God may be trying to teach you through the behavior of your children.  After each phrase-based entry there is a moment of introspection section which provides the reader with a few prompts/questions to spur further thought.

Although I am a big Max Lucado fan, I was a bit skeptical about his first fictional work.  I was afraid it might be a bit hokey or heavy handed.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe was a fun and inspirational read.  You really cannot help but cheer on the characters.
