Between Us Girls: Walks and Talks for Moms and Daughters by Trish Donohue
5.0
I have one little girl, and each day I feel shame and guilt that I'm not raising her to love Jesus the way I should. I get angry because I honestly don't know how, most of the time.
My momma became a Christian when I was much older, so this is very new territory. Trish Donohue gets this.
She's created a gem of a book to help assist in this area. Her book is a literal transcript to go by! Each chapter is a "talk" for moms and daughters to have with one another. Moms have questions to ask, as well as daughters. It's beautifully written in a way to get to the deep stuff together.
I can't wait to do this with my little girl. She's only 7, but I still think this would be a good age to start this with. Ideally, it would be good to start once reading is no issue-but I still think we can make it work.
This goes beyond a devotion, this is book made to inspire deep intimacy between mom and her precious girl.
I needed this.

Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame by Heather Davis Nelson
5.0
If you're dealing with any kind of shame-this is the book you need to invest in. Heather does an amazing job at reminding us about our value in Christ. This book is filled with all the scripture one needs to speak over their life to be free from shame; that may be body image shame, past or current sin shame, or just the flat out lie kind of shame that the enemy uses.
Not only does this book address our own shame-but brings to light the our ability to pass on shame to others. Heather even tackles "shame-free parenting" which is a chapter that I'm planning on reviewing again...and probably again.
Over all-I feel blessed to have this. Unashamed is the guide to "...heal our brokenness and find freedom from shame."

Don't Go to Bed Angry: Stay Up and Fight by Deb DeArmond, Ronald G. DeArmond
5.0
Full review on Mama Bear Outpost
This book isn't a manual on how to control your spouse, get even, or change him/her. This is a book to use together, to better the way you communicate during the tough moments. It will help both of you understand your mindsets and how you tick when you're angry. Don't Go to Bed Angry, gets into the thick of what your fighting styles are and gives Biblical basis on how to reform, regroup, and approach disagreements in way that won't tear you two apart. Being that it's coming from a married couple, you won't have to worry about this book being one-sided. Trust me-they're laying it all out for the BOTH of you.

Like a River from Its Course by Kelli Stuart
5.0
You can read my full review at Mama Bear Outpost
Most books I have read, take place within Germany. Like a River from its Course takes place within the Ukraine-a setting I'm unfamiliar with. That's okay, because Kelli Stuart does an amazing job of immersing you in and making you feel like you're in the middle of it all.
My mission is to make my father proud, to be a part of history.
The book is written with different perspectives, the chapter titles allowing you to keep track of who's POV you are experiencing. These people felt so real. If you can't get emotionally involved with the characters in this book- something is absolutely wrong.
This book has all of the angst, heartache, and determination you expect from a WWII novel. If you have any interest in this subject matter-pick.this.up.

When Death Draws Near by Carrie Stuart Parks
5.0
Check out my full review at Mama Bear Outpost
This book has the flavor of Kathy Reich's Temperance Brennan books, but has the added nugget of faith with really steps it up. Make no mistake-this is a thriller, and a good one at that. There are two other books before this one, but When Death Draws Near, works great as a stand alone.

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
5.0
This started out a little slower than Clockwork Prince, but caught myself smiling through most of the book. I'm 200% Team Jem, but I have this eerie feeling that I'm going to be disappointed in Clockwork Princess.
