Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2013

Motherhood is full of uncertainty.What do my children really need? Whyare they doing that? Is this normal? What can I do to help them? How can I knowfor certain that I am doing this right? Thelogistics are easy. Anybody can do laundry and carpool. But what makes a motherthe best mom she can be? It's notbetter scheduling. Or more activities. Or less. It ispassion-the passion to teach, protect, study, and prepare her children for thefuture. Great, buthow? SusanMerrill, the mother of five incredibly different children, has asked thatquestion countless times. And she has read countless answers specific to acertain child's temperament, age, or situation. But nothing she read offered anoverall approach to parenting that would enable her to say with confidence, "I am doing this right." She neverguessed she would find a foundational plan-a reliable, universal parentingapproach in the Old Testament book of Nehemiah. In ThePassionate Mom, Susan takes you on a journey through Nehemiah and into theheart of parenting. Her stories and confessions in every chapter reveal whatshe has learned: no mom can control her child's future, but every mom canparent well. There is a plan-a roadmap for how a passionate mom can parentalmost any child, confidently.
