• Friday, July 15, 2005 - Introducing "BOOK TALK"

So I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in reading a books together and sharing online about it?  We can read during the week, and then post on Saturday (or any day for that matter, but Sunday will be the day to "reflect" on the week so it would be nice if we've read and posted by then).  We'll do a chapter a week... nothing too intense (I realize we all have lives... and little lives that can get pretty demanding on ours!) and see how it goes.  I'd love to be a part of a women's study group, but with my husband's schedule, he's not home much (try finding a sitter for 5 kids... plus, I'm not real comfortable with that all the time...) and when he is home, I don't want to leave.  I'm hoping that this will be something that works out, and be fun too!  Let me know what you think of this and anyone who would be interested... I don't have the links working yet, but they will be...

The first book I'd like to do is, "Don't Make Me Count To Three! - A Moms Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline" by Ginger Plowman.  (The ISBN# is: 0972304649 for those of you who want to look for it other than the link I've provided, or want to get it from the Public Library.) Description on the back: Do you find yourself threatening, repeating your instructions, or raising your voice in an attempt to get your children to obey? Are you discouraged because it seems you just can't reach the heart of your child? Through personal experience and the practical application of Scripture, Ginger Plowman encourages and equips moms to reach past the outward behavior of their children and dive deeply into the issues of the heart. Ginger's candid approach will help moms move beyond the frustrations of not knowing how to handle issues of disobedience and into a confident, well-balanced approach to raising their children.

I will be posting more information on this later... we'll shoot for starting in a week (if possible... let me know how long it takes to get your book if you're buying it), but 2 weeks at the latest.

In Him,
Amy

I would love to do this! I am leaving for vacation Tuesday, so if you start right away, could I join in when you get back? I have the same issues you have -dh is always at work and I don't like to leave my little ones with anyone!

This looks like a good book and I could really use some direction right now in the parenting game. I think I am losing. :-) I will order my book today, but it might not get here when you start, so I will join up as soon as I get mine.

I'M "JUST" A MOM...
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striving to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have children), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
