MommySecrets

Being a mom is the hardest thing I've ever done, but it has brought me so much joy! I want to encourage other moms on their journey, I'll share motherhood tricks, spotlight tips I've learned from friends, and I hope you will share your ideas. I will focus on secrets that help families stay balanced, healthy, frugal, creative, and closely knit. I will also share favorite fiction and nonfiction books that I have enjoyed. Many blessings to you on your mothering journey!

    Book Review: "Time with God for Fathers"

    Time with God for Fathers, by Jack Countryman, is a beautiful gift book and an inspirational devotional/prayer book for fathers and soon-to-be-fathers.  It is full of powerful scriptures with a personal application written for each one.  The topics, chosen especially for fathers, include wisdom, courage, fear, love, gratitude, discipline, strength, forgiveness, worry, integrity, character, and legacy.  I also like the appendix, which includes several great reference lists, including scriptures about God listening to our prayers, God’s promises for fathers, God’s blessings for fathers, fatherly responsibilities, and scriptural examples of dynamic fathers.  This would be a good gift book for new Christians or seasoned believers.
    I was given a copy of this book by Thomas Nelson, but I'm not obligated to give a positive review.  It is my privilege, however, to give this gift book a great review!
