There are four parts in this book. The first part is Why You are Not Alone. It really focuses on moms and addresses the many ways and reasons women feel alone. She reminds the readers that we are not alone, that we don't have to be it all, and we need others.
The second part is Why We Cannot Live Motherhood by the Seat of Our Pants. I thought of this part as the relationships that moms have and disciplining out of love. I found this to be such a grace-filled section, touching on topics that every mom deals with on a daily basis.
Part three is Why You Will Lead Them in the Way They Should Go. I felt like this was about passing our faith down to the next genenration and some tips on how to do that. It also addresses why it is important and the influence of a mother.
Part four is Why Giving Your Children a Reason to Change Makes All the Difference. This part focuses on the heart and not the behavior (although we do deal with the behavior. But ultimately, we want a heart change otherwise it's behavior modification. It's encouraging moms that it's okay to say no, to have those hard conversations, to let their children think, to encourage responsibility, and to continue to work on our relationships with our children.
These chapters are very short so it's one of those books that you can read a chapter right before bed or in the middle of a chaotic day when you need a little encouragment from someone who has gone before you.
If you're looking for a book to encourage a mother, this book would make a great gift!
