We've chosen The Power of a Positive Mom by Karol Ladd to be our book study for the upcoming year. Here is an excerpt from the author's website:
If you are a mother, you may not look in the mirror everyday and see yourself as having a great influence on the world, but you do! No one has a greater impact on the home than a mother, and that impact can be defeatingly negative or powerfully positive. This book will help ensure that your impact is positive. In the pages of this insightful and inspiring book, you will learn seven, simple principles for shaping your family for good--principles that work for stay-at-home and working moms alike. As you read this captivating book, you will see how your attitude and actions can fill the lives of those you care about the most with love and encouragement. Become the mom you've always wanted to be. You might even surpass your own dreams.
Not a reader? Try to find "errands" to run on book study days? We've got you in mind! We've purchased the book's companion DVD that summarizes each priniciple into 20-25 minute segments. On our four book study days spread throughout the year, we'll watch the DVD, then follow each segment with a group discussion on the principles presented. So, if you'd prefer not to purchase the book, you can still participate in and gain insight from our book study days.
Kim Heath, bargain hunter extraordinaire, is searching for the best price on the book and we will probably make a bulk purchase for those interested in owning the book. More information on that to come...
