“Love is its own reward; hate is its own punishment. The surest way to get rid of an enemy is to make that person your friend.”

“You have to pass by the thorns to get to the rose. So when you prick yourself, remember, you are on the path to fragrance and beauty.”

“Mothers, teach your children to be quick in what they stand for and slow in what they fall for.”

One hundred thirty-six quotations such as those shown above, each paired with a verse from scripture; all intended to impart wisdom, mercy, and grace for mothers.

Designed to encourage, to inspire, to bless, it’s a book in which mothers are sure to find much to appreciate.

4.5 stars

What an awesome present for a Christian graduate! This cute little book is not exactly what I was expecting. There is absolutely no commentary except for the foreword and "Dear Graduate" pages. The rest of the book is simply a collection of scriptures organized under different sections and questions.

This is a perfect index for the Bible. It ranges from topics such as "Who is God?" to God's blessings to a collection of scriptures to inspire you when you're lonely. It has such a good, diverse range of topics that I believe works perfectly for quick help.

Be aware that the first section of questions with answers won't really help you if you already have trouble understanding the Bible. It's just a collection of scriptures -- not an explanation of them. But, it's still worth buying because of the other sections that show God's blessings to you, where to find truth, time management, and so much more!

This is a wonderful book, with a very carefull selected finishing that makes it a great gift to any Christian father. Its format is like a devotional, having several topics, a bible verse related to the topic in question and a personal input from the author on that subject, usually right on target.
Besides that, it provides at the end of the book a kind of reference guide for different situations, pointing to some bible verses related to that particular situation. Some topics are "Crisis Scripture Guide", "God's Dynamic Example of Fathers", "Responsabilities of Fatherhood to...", "God's Blessing for Fathers with...", "God's Promises for Fathers", and "God Listens to a Father's Prayer when...". Very useful tool for many circunstances.
I would recommend this book to any new father, as well as old fathers, because there is always time to adjustments in our life when we are trying to guide ourselves based on the Word of God.

This book was written by Jack Countryman and it was published by Thomas Nelson in 2011 and they were kind enough to send me a copy for reviewing through their Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers Program.
