Want to know more about the book? Here's the 411:
Women are wired to control. We make sure the house is clean, the meals prepared, the children are dressed, and everyone gets to where they’re going on time. But sometimes our strength of being conscientious can morph into the weakness of being a slight—or all out—control freak! This humorous, yet spiritually practical book will help you to:
• Take control of your schedule yet welcome interruptions from God
• Draw the line between mothering and micromanaging
• Influence your husband instead of manipulating him
• Learn to control your emotions when you can’t control the circumstances
• Stop pursuing the appearance of perfection and start pursuing the person of God

ReplyDeleteI am anxious to read this book....as a child my first words were "me do it" and things haven't changed. The I-Pad would be a nice bonus as well. I would give it to my boyfriend as he really wants one but I cannot afford to give it to him.

The book sounds great. Thank you for hosting. I think that one of the most important things we can do as moms is to be good examples. I think that taking our children to vote with us raises them to be good citizens.
