These books below have had a huge impact on my life as a mom, and I hope they can encourage and equip you as well. As usual you can contact me directly or use my link to Shop Amazon.com
10. Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow ($16.00) This really is one of my all-time favorite books to do as a Bible Study. I love how Linda Dillow is so practical, Biblically-based, and understands the constant heart struggle of women to overcome their worrisome ways to be more like Christ. This is an excellent book.
9. Creative Counterpart, becoming the woman, wife, and mother you've longed to be by Linda Dillow($15.00). This book helps you become the wife and mother that you have longed to be through practical and biblically based steps and principles. Linda Dillow is one of my all-time favorite authors.
8.A Mother's Heart, a look at values, vision, and character for the Christian mother by Jean Fleming ($13.00 on back order). Being a mother is an extremely important job, but one that can easily feel frustrating and unrewarding. Fleming offers encouragement in your role as a godly mother.
7. Feminine Appeal, Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother by Carolyn Mahaney ($14.00 on back order)This is the best book I have ever read about being a Titus 2 Woman. This book will show you the appeal of being a woman who lives for God and helps others do the same.
6. Shopping for Time by Carolyn Mahaney ($13.00). Shopping for Time offers the solution to women who truly desire to glorify God with every use of their time. By weaving biblical principles of God's Word into five important keys, the author gives women practical advice on how to be fulfilled and excel in their daily responsibilities.
5. One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. This book is my most recent favorite. It is currently helping me conquer unbelief and distrust which stems from an ungrateful heart. I am truly amazed at how she can express my true feelings and struggles as a mom in such beautiful language. This was a true God send during my recent family crisis.
4. Creative Correction. Lisa Welchel (a.k.a. Blaire from Facts of Life TV show). Lisa is wonderfully practical and creative in her discipline ideas. What I love most about this book is its amazing index and endnotes that I refer to continually when I have specific problems with whining, fueding, or other common character issues.
3. While They Were Sleeping, 12 Character Traits for Moms to Pray. by Anne Arkins and Gary Harrell ($10.00). One of the greatest ways that you can impact your child's life is by praying for him. This book is a valuable tool for helping you pray specifically and systematically for your child. It also includes a few fun, practical activities to help you connect with your child while teaching him about the character qualities for which you have prayed. (This is a great gift for grandmothers, too!) They have just recently come out with matching prayer cards, character certificates, and beautiful decorative small posters with the qualities and Scripture. What an amazing set!

2. Wise Words for Moms by Ginger Plowman($5.50). Plowman has come up with this wonderful tool that is meant to aid you in using the Scriptures to train your child how to get rid of sinful behavior. It lists a problem, the heart issue that corresponds with that problem, then verses that instruct about this problem. Every mom should have one.
1. "Don't Make Me Count to Three!", a Mom's Look at Heart-Oriented Discipline also by Ginger Plowman ($13.00). 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 deep into the issue of the heart. This is somewhat of a more practical version of Shepherding a Child's Heart.
