Mommy Octopus

Over the summer, our church did a series on Jesus’s unlikely moms.  We went through some of the harder stories about women in the Bible.  Once I heard about this new book, I was eager to read it to continue the storyline past our sermons.  It’s been a bit since I’ve read a book that has captured my attention like this current read.  I’m reading Moms of the Bible by Rhonda Stoppe.

The book cover boasts “Life-changing lessons from the fearless, flawed and faithful,” and boy is it right!  I can hardly put it down!  It features women such as Rahab, Rebekah, Eve, and many more.  At the end of each chapter, there are thought provoking questions and a QR code with teachings from the author, making this perfect for a group study.

I can tell this is one book that I am going to read from cover to cover, and stop along the way for extra learning opportunities.  For more information, visit the Moms of the Bible website and even sign up to get a chapter for free!

We received a copy of this book to review.  All opinions are my own.  

I’ve really enjoyed reading to and with my kids over the years.  Currently at home, I still have 3 teens and an elementary schooler.  Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reading the book Is God Real? For Teens with my teens and my 10 year old.  This book was written by Lee Strobel, an investigative journalist and former atheist.

I think we all ask at one time or another if God is real.  I know I have. Is God Real? For Teens presents astounding scientific evidence that everything didn’t happen just by random chance.  There is design.  There is a purpose.

We haven’t quite finished the book, yet, but I wanted to give a shout out to let you know it’s available and needs to be a stocking stuffer for your teens!  I found it amazing that an atheist went looking to disprove Christianity and ended up finding God!  What a truly amazing story of redemption.

One quote we had a good discussion about was “For people who aren’t really serious about encountering Him, perhaps God choses to be distant.  For those who are sincerely looking for Him, He might make Himself more evident.  And keep in mind that God is omniscient.  If that’s true, we can assume that He would know how much to reveal about Himself to each person – so that the maximum number of people will come into a saving relationship with Him.”  I love that this book opened the door for further discussion.  That’s why it has taken it so long for us to read!  We are loving the discussions it brings!
