Every little chapter in this book shares a personal story followed by some godly words of wisdom, things to ponder, and scriptures. Then at the end of every chapter she shares “a moment of introspection” which are some questions to ask yourself that relate to what was just shared in the chapter.
There are 68 chapters and each chapter is only 2 or 3 pages, so it can easily be read every day. I found it uplifting, real, personal, and enlightening.
I also loved reading the intro of this book! I learned that her book spans over 23 years worth of stories and thoughts of raising her 7 children. I think it’s great that she took the time to put together this book and made the effort to use her real life examples and experiences to teach others.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.
About the book:
How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You?
You’ve probably said these things to your kids, but have you listened to what you’re saying?
“I remember the day you were born.”
“Turn down the music!”
“This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.”
“Hold my hand.”
Your heavenly Father wants to tell you many of these same things. Rachael Carman knows how noisy it can be when you’re raising children—she has seven! But this lovely devotional book will help you to hear God’s still, small voice amid the chaos of carpools, cut fingers, and carpet crawlers. You’ll learn how to recognize God’s instructions for you, even as you seek to follow His example as a parent.
