Loving the Little Years: Motherhood in the Trenches

I didn't write this book because mothering little ones is easy for me. I wrote it because it isn't. I know that this is a hard job, because I am right here in the middle of it. I know you need encouragement because I do too.

This is a small collection of thoughts on mothering young children - for when you are motivated, for when you are discouraged, for the times when discipline seems fruitless, and for when you are just plain old tired.

"Loving the Little Years is a delightful book... It is a fresh and honest book, because it faces the problem of sin (both in kids and in parents). It is filled with profound insights into living wisely as a Christian parent. It has all the things I look for in a parenting book - the focus is nurture, not just control; the motivation and empowerment is grace and not efforts. This book will help any mom (or dad for that matter) with loving the little years."
