Summer Reading Review ~ The Greatest Mom Ever!
Posted in Book Reviews
Believe it or not, I actually had a guy friend recommend The Greatest Mom Ever! by Terri Camp to me. He said he read it a couple years ago, and that even though it was written for Moms, he thought that it had some lessons that the rest of us could profit from as well.
And I found that he was right. After all, don’t all of us need a reminder once in a while to wait on God? Don’t all of us need a push to hunger for God’s Word again? Those are just a couple of the lessons in The Greatest Mom Ever! that can be applied to everyone’s lives.
I love hearing funny stories, and Mrs. Camp definitely had a ton of them to share. I also enjoyed the fact that she was completely honest about herself and her family. Why is it that we are strangely comforted to hear that we aren’t the only people who are much less than perfect? I’m not sure, but it usually gives me a push in the right direction to hear other people share their struggles. So I appreciate books where the author is transparent rather than preachy.
So whether you’re a Mom or not, The Greatest Mom Ever! probably contains some life lessons that can be applied to your own life. It was a fun read, and I enjoyed it.

Oops, sorry for the confusion there! :-) And actually, I believe that was the Crown and Covenant series you commented on before.
Hm, haven't read that one either! Sounds like something my mom would enjoy...
