Author: Rhonda Stoppe

Publisher: Harvest House Publishers

Release Date: March 7, 2023

Genre: Religion / Christian Living / Women’s Interests/ Parenting

Bringing up boys isn’t for the faint of heart, but bestselling author Rhonda Stoppe has been there before—and she’s here to help! Drawing on insights from fellow boy-moms and from Scripture, Rhonda reveals why walking with Christ is every mom’s key to parenting well.

You’ll discover how motherhood gives you unique opportunities to grow in faith as you draw nearer to God through prayer, Bible study, and mentorship from godly women. You’ll also find practical advice for shaping your son in character and faith as you encourage his passions, teach him biblical masculinity, and protect his spirit without smothering his individuality.

Your success as a mother doesn’t depend on what your son does with his life, but on how you obey God’s guidance on this mission of motherhood. Moms Raising Sons to Be Men provides the biblical hope, wisdom, and encouragement you need to help your son live a life without regrets!

“You will be encouraged, enlightened, and empowered to become the mom you’ve always wanted to be—and to guide your son into becoming the man God intended.”

—Cindi McMenamin, national speaker and author of When Women Walk Alone

MY REVIEW

I had previously listened to this book 2 years ago on audio book. This book is the 10th anniversary updated edition. I am the mother of 2 older boys so I was very excited to re-read this book.

One thing that really stuck out to me in chapter one was “your success as a mother does not depend on what your son chooses to do with his life. Rather, according to Scripture, success lies in your obedience to God-in what you choose to do with your life.”

The author goes on to say that we are called to the ministry of motherhood and that the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you. I fully believe this and can witness that God has helped me raise my two boys as a single mother and as a married mother; and that God has never failed me. Has life been easy? No. Do I sometimes feel like a failure as a mom and wish I had more kindness and patience? Absolutely.

I liked all the practical advice and scripture references. At the end of each chapter she includes some thought provoking questions and a weekly video which can be used for book clubs or for further discussion or reflection. I did alot of journaling and highlighting in my book!

I also liked that she emphasized the importance of being a godly mother and using the Bible and older women as an example and for help. I have always used my own mother as an example and for guidance which has helped me tremendously. I think we can learn alot from previous generations and that we shouldn’t be too prideful or scared to ask for help and guidance.

I have read books by this author and have really enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed this one.  I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
