The Power of a Positive Mom

"There is no greater investment we can make in the lives of our children than giving them generous doses of encouraging words. It costs us so little in time and effort, but the rewards are priceless. When our young people are reminded of their God-given value, they receive deposits of confidence, security, and well-being in their emotional bank accounts. They begin building on their strengths, knowing they have something to contribute to the world." - Karol Ladd, The Power of a Positive Mom


I think I will read this one soon.

Savory

I don't read a lot of fiction. It's a rare occasion that a novel captures and holds my attention for more than a chapter or two.

Fiction is dessert - yummy and fun - but not something I can live on. I recently inhaled this "true-life novel." Delicious.



Best of all, I love stacking savory books on my nightstand - meaty, sink-your-teeth-into-truth books - full of practical wisdom or abstract ideas my sleep-deprived eyes have to read twice to grasp. I thought I'd share what I've read lately, and what's next on my library search list, or if that fails me, my kindle app.
