ReplyDeleteharMy prayer time will be enriched by the use of this book.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a copy of this book, it looks awesome. Especially since I've 'doubled' in children recently, hehehe. It would be a great way to get centered and calm as I go through parenting a school aged child and an infant :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I was just starting to think of Mother's day! ♥ I would probably keep this copy for myself instead of giving it to my mom.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful idea for a book. I know it is sometimes so hard to do the spiritual work of raising children.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is on a journey to Orthodoxy, I would love to have this book to help me along the way. Sounds very helpful and encouraging!
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy. It looks like an amazing book.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! Excited about these books that fill a unique need :-)
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great idea for a book!
ReplyDeleteI had a difficult start as a mother at eighteen. I was estranged from my own mother at the time and still am. Every person in my family either lost a mother early or was abandoned by them. I feel like I have no one earthly to turn to for encouragement and support. My patron saint is St. Anna, the mother of our Mother and I have wept so many nights asking for her intercession. Our society really does not honor the struggles mothers go through, and instead focuses on the utopian picture painted by Hallmark and so many parenting magazines. Mothers are broken, and flawed, we get angry and say things we shouldn't. The Church understands that we are imperfect parents and offers the salve for our wounded spirits. I have always loved our faith, but I never truly, deeply, madly in love with it until I had my children. The support and tradition of our faith was like a life preserver during the most unstructured time of my life. My husband is not Orthodox so sometimes I feel like I am carrying the light in my own, but if it's for my kids I am happy to carry it. I realized what my life's calling is after struggling to find a cosmipolitan career that would make me feel important. I have the most important job in the world, raising saints for Christ's kingdom.
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy of this book to turn to for encouragement in my walk as a mother and Orthodox Christian. Thank you for the chance!
Christ is Risen!
I heard about this book two days ago and am eager to read it. I'm expecting my 3rd child within the next 2-7 weeks, and am learning the increasing need to quiet my mind, heart, and words with prayer. Thank you for offering this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would love a chance to read this book! As a convert to the Orthodox Church, it's such a gift to have books like these to light my way, both in faith and in my parenting.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks wonderful. I would love a chance to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteWould love to give this book to my sister...
