These stories are often a child's first glimpse of God, and the simple way they're told is great for little minds. But since we never hear the rest of the story, they are soon relegated to the status of fairy tales and fables. Yet they are not only logical and rational, they are actual events that recount God's earliest revelation of Himself to man. Here's the rest of the story, complete with all the details and references necessary to gain the full understanding of these remarkable events. For example: - Why do Jewish days begin at sunset? - Why did Samson lose his strength when Delilah cut his hair? - Why did David pick up five stones when one was enough to defeat Goliath? Find the answers to these and many other questions as you read the adult version of the Bible's Children's Stories.

Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."
