Moms’ Night Out and Other Things I Miss…Devotions to Help You Survive! – Kerri Pomarolli

I am very blessed to work with a variety of publishers and literary publicity groups that allow me to review books for them.  Yesterday, I reviewed Moms’ Night Out.  When I received that book in the mail for review,  I also received a “bonus item” – a companion book.  Moms’ Night Out and Other Things I Miss…Devotions to Help You Survive.  This was a nice surprise.

Moms’ Night Out and Other Things I Miss…Devotions to Help You Survive! is a great book of devotions for Moms.  Each entry is fairly brief and captures the humor to be found in the day to day challenges of motherhood.  At the end each entry is a “Take a Moment to Think About…” section which is well done.  Although highly enjoyable and relevant to a mother of a seven year old, I think this devotional would be particularly appreciated by mothers of babies and toddlers.

As a new mother it is hard not to feel overwhelmed at times.  Mom Seeks God presents advice regarding how to grow spiritually during the early years of motherhood.  The text would be terrific for a new mother’s Bible study.  It takes the reader through ten spiritual disciplines with humor and practical ideas to aid growth in your faith.

If you are a fan of the e-mail devotions produced by Proverbs 31 Ministries, this little devotional book is for you.  Each devotional includes a Bible verse and then a personal story that includes that verse in action.  Following the readings are prompts related to remembering, reflecting, and responding to the lesson.  Although each devotion is brief, each one gives the reader a great deal to reflect upon throughout the day.

I’ve Got Your Back: Biblical Principles for Leading and Following Well is a great little book.  It is divided into two parts.  The first section is a leadership parable that follows a group of people who are trying to discover what it means to be a good leader.  The second portion of the book explores the theology behind that story.  Galvin does a great job explaining Biblical leadership and exploring it in action.  This book is a quick read, and whether you are more of a leader or more of a follower,  the content can be easily applied to everyday life.

I enjoy Susan Merrill’s writing from iMom so I was looking forward to reading The Passionate Mom: Dare to Parent in Today’s World.  This book was even better than I had hoped.  Susan has used the book of Nehemiah as a guide to parenting and provides parallels throughout her text.  The focus of this book is to provide encouragement to mothers as well as to provide a practical, biblically based plan to further development and growth.  This one is a winner!
