As moms the hardest thing for us to do sometimes besides finding time for ourselves if often times finding time to get our spiritual breakfast, lunch or dinner in for the day with God. I think it's critical to help us manage our day and help us deal with all the things unique to being a mom and being a success.

I've had the wonderful opportunity to review a great new devotional, The Power of A Positive Mom by Karol Ladd. I know I could use some help because as a busy mom, I find the some days I am less than a positive influence in the lives of those around me and even in my own. In this wonderful book are devotionals broken down into 52 weeks beginning each on a Monday. Of course, you could always chose to start them on any day, but its designed to give you a head start on the week ahead. What we often fail to realize is that the Bible is the perfect self-help book for everything moms and wives have to deal with. It offers insight and wisdom with powerful tools for living a full, contented, positive life as a mom whether your kids are in diapers or in high school.

By starting of each week with a motivational message designed for moms that comes straight from the Word of God, Karol's hope is that you'll find the encouragement, help, and spiritual fuel you'll need for the week ahead. Most moms want to be ones that create a positive environment of love, encouragement, and care in our homes, but we can't do it alone. This devotional offers a unique journey through the Bible that will help us tap into that power. Starting in Genesis and moving through passages in almost every book of the Bible all the way into Revelation, we will get a taste of them as we walk our way through God's Word.

Each week is broken into a Key Scripture to focus on that week, a motivational quote designed to get you in the right frame of mind, a Mom's Reflection; designed to help you apply the key scripture to your role as a mom that week, a place to record your thoughts with a great thought-provoking question, and a prayer for that week. There are also some choices to consider as you work through your study that week and further reading you can do.

I received The Power of A Positive Mom by Karol Ladd compliments of Howard Books, a division of Simon and Schuster for my honest review and could really see a difference in using this devotional in my own life. I keep it with me while I am doing things around the house, as a guide to direct me back to my key scripture when I find myself coming up short. It's almost like a reminder from God on spending 52 weeks of my life on becoming not only a better mom, but growing closer to the mom God wants me to be.

I highly recommend this book and rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars! It's a great starting point for new moms just beginning their spiritual walk in helping them get a simply Bible Study going for themselves or perhaps a mom's Bible Study with a small group in church! This makes an excellent resource for busy moms everywhere.

Perfect for : Personal Use, Gift, Women's Group, Bible Study Group

In a nutshell: This is a wonderfully uplifting book for anyone who has experienced disappointment in areas of their life or expectations. We make plans, and dream about our future, and sometimes these plans and dreams work out, and sometimes they don't. The author explains that there are seven common areas where women experience disappointment (I have a feeling that men do too): marriage, kids, self, others, circumstances, religion and God. She provides examples and information on each area. Karol Ladd has written a book that gives readers hope. She stresses that we are in control of our outlook and that we need to embrace the unexpected changes in our life and find good in them. She goes even farther to help readers see how to accomplish this. If you or someone you know is struggling with their circumstances in life, pick up a copy of this book. It will provide hope, guidance and skills to help you thrive in your life, not just survive it.

Extended Review:
Content: The book includes an introduction to the book, and three main sections: 1. When Dreams Disappoint (Seven common disappointments in a woman's life, Time to let go, Worry and What-ifs, How can I trust a God who allows pain and suffering), 2. Embrace the Unexpected (The beauty of Plan B, The bitterness battle, Big-picture thinking, You are what you say), 3. Live Passionately (Your confident stride, Healthy connections, Life is not a spectator sport, Strength of soul). The book also includes a conclusion, leader's guide and discussion questions.

Format: Each chapter begins with information and examples that pertain to the topic. The reader will find both real-life and Biblical-life examples throughout the chapter, as well as passages from the Bible. One of my all-time favorite stories from the Bible is the story of Ruth, the Moabite priestess who married a Jewish man. Shortly after her marriage, her husband dies and she and her mother-in-law are left alone without an income. The author shows how the women maintain their faith in God, and how they take control of a bad situation and thrive.

There is a recap at the end of each chapter called "Stepping Forward" that provides a quick recap of the chapter, an uplifting passage from the Bible, a Prayer, and a plan to help the reader put what they just learned into practice.

Readability: The book is easy to read, and thanks to the examples and stories that are shared, it is easy to relate to.

Overall: This will be a very helpful and uplifting book for anyone who is realizing that life didn't turn out exactly as they expected it to, and for those who are disappointed in the life they currently have. Karol Ladd not only shows you that it is possible to thrive in the life God has given you, but she gives you the tools to do it!
