January 2015: Book of the Month

By 2 Comments

5 Love Languages of ChildrenThis month the Christian Moms Read book club will be reading “The Five Love Languages of Children” by Gary Chapman.

Reading this book will help us understand and focus on the way that our children love and how to love them in a way that is beneficial to them.

I don’t know about you, but I am interested in seeing if this book can offer me some understanding that I don’t already possess in regards to my children.  I have four of them and they are all different.  I’m sure that they all have various love languages as well.

What are your thoughts on this book?  Are you looking forward to reading it?

Christian Mom Reads: August Book of the Month

By Leave a Comment

It’s official, our book of the month for August has been chosen.  It is a book that I have had on my personal list for some time now.  Yet, one of our group members suggested it and I am really excited to read it.  It is called “My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife…and It’s Surprising Results”

August Book of the Month
August Book of the Month

Here is the description of the book from Amazon.com

Author Sara Horn always admired the Proverbs 31 wife, but when she became a busy writer and mother, she deemed this model to be dated and impossible. Or is it? Join Sara as she heads into a one-year domestic experiment and offers full access to see if this biblical model can be embraced by a modern woman–even one who can’t sew.

With humility and humor, Sara sets out to pursue the Proverbs 31 characteristics through immersing herself in all things domestic, but when her family’s situation changes and she must return to a full-time job, she’s forced to look at the Proverbs 31 woman with a whole new viewpoint. Through it all, she and readers discover:

  • what it means to be a godly woman and a wife
  • how investing in family and faith refines priorities as a spouse and a parent
  • how mistakes are opportunities for growth

This thought-provoking, surprising, and entertaining personal account will inspire women to try their own experiments in living out God’s purpose for their lives.

If you are interested in purchasing the book, it is available at most book stores and can be ordered from Amazon

I hope you decide to join in with us as we read this book…

Christian Mom Reads: June & July

By 2 Comments

Since starting the Christian Mom Reads Book Club, we have gone from having 3 members to 15 members. I am so excited to see women joining together to encourage themselves and one another. Each member seems to be excited and looking forward to gaining great things from our interactions.

Our book of the month for the month of June was “Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life”

I will be posting  my review on this book soon.  I have really enjoyed reading it.

July…

During the month of July, my family and I moved, so the book club was on hold and we didn’t read a book or discuss one.  However, we continued with a poll for the August book of the month.

I am so excited to begin reading our book of the month for August.

Christian Mom Reads Book Club

By 5 Comments

I recently decided to start a group on goodreads.  It is such an awesome website with multiple avenues of expressing our love for books, that I decided to start the Christian Mom Reads group.

Here is a description of the group:

With all of the hustle and bustle that we as moms experience, we often experience a longing to have a place to call our own.  This is one of those places.

We can read books that touch our hearts and encourage our souls.  Want to just share what you are reading or find a new author or book to read?  This is the right group for you.

Ever wonder if the content of a book is appropriate for yourself or for your family?  Together we can read and discuss the different types of books out there and come to a well thought out decision as to whether or not the book is what we desire for both ourselves and our families.

We want to read books that are fun, encouraging, entertaining, expressive, and inspiring…yet those are not always easy to find. Let’s explore together.

We can discuss books and the adventurous life of mothering, together, one book at a time.

If you are interested in joining the group you can visit the Christian Mom Reads Goodreads group page.  You can also like the Facebook page for the group.  I will also be creating new posts for the group on this site as well. So if you want you can stay tuned and you won’t miss a thing.
