review 1: The back cover reads: MOTHERHOOD IS TOUGH. The understatement of the millenium. Having been a mom for twenty years now, one would think that I had my act together, knew what I was doing and such. The thing is that motherhood is one of those adventures that begins the moment that you read the results and doesn't stop stretching you mind, body, and soul until you die. Its not for the weak of heart. It can and will push you to your utter limits.The crazy thing is that its also the single most rewarding thing that you can ever do with your life. This book written by Erin Davis is one of those great reads that helps you along on your journey. It refreshes, it puts things into perspective and it holds no punches. Our society undervalues motherhood and child-rearing as though its... more something you fall back on when you can't make it doing anything else. As women we fall for that line and our lives seem mundane and without purpose, but God's desire is that we find the joy in mothering. How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic; not because it is minute." -G. K. ChestertonI received a free copy of this book from Moody Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
review 2: *I received a copy of this book through a Goodreads Giveaway*I thought this would be an interesting book to read because A) Motherhood fascinates me (way more than it should a single twenty-year-old girl) and B) I'm an Atheist. Before the outrage begins, I wish I could believe in God. It's a beautiful concept. I like learning about different religions, but I just don't see myself as a religious person.Anyway, enough about me. This is a very cute and informative book. Erin Davis does a great job at transmitting "God's Word" in a clear, relatable, and sometimes funny way without shoving it down your throat. I learned a lot, and the "Connecting the Dots" section at the end of each chapter were fun and actually got me thinking. An enjoyable read. less
