A Mother’s Heart

J.Steve — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 02:46:32 +0000

A Look at Values, Vision, and Character For The Christian Mother

Become The Mother You Want to Be

Christian mothers – don’t despair!

When God gave you the assignment of “mother”

He meant for you to complete it successfully. It’s a tremendously hard job raising children but He is totally behind you. God wants to use you to prepare your child for the rigors of life.

But how do you do it? Jean Fleming, who says her “heart beats for mothers,” highlights not only biblical principles but also practical methods of making these principles live in your child.

Mrs. Fleming, mother of three, tells how you can know your part and god’s part in raising your child, how to be thankful for your child with strengths and weaknesses and then ally yourself with God in His plans for your child’s life.

This book tells how you can take a spiritual inventory of your child, how to thoughfully pray for him, creatively love him and teach him about who God is and what He teaches about life.

Relax! You don’t have to be a “super mom.” But A Mother’s Heart will help you become the mother you want to be.

The Truth About Sex and You

Facing the Facts equips kids to understand and deal with the changes of puberty. It also examines love and dating.

More changes occur in your body and brain during puberty than during any other time in your life. Puberty marks the beginning of big changes in your relationships with your parents and with the opposite sex. It’s a wonderful and exhilarating time because you’re finally becoming an adult, but it can be a stressful and overwhelming time, too. If you don’t understand what’s happening to you, or why, ages 11 to 14 can be downright scary.

Facing the Facts was written to give you all of the information you need to understand exactly what’s happening to your body during the years ahead and why God planned it to happen just that way. You’ll learn about:

The role of puberty in the development of sexuality
How girls’ and boys’ bodies change, both inside and out
Exactly how a woman gets pregnant and gives birth
Why God wants you to save sex for marriage
Love, dating, and how relationships mature
Tough answers to some tough problems

Your body and its sexual nature are beautiful and exciting gifts from God that He wants you to understand and appreciate. Reading Facing the Facts and talking about it with your parents will help you be ready for the coming physical changes, equip you to handle the sexual pressures you’ll encounter throughout your life, and give you a better understanding of God’s perfect design for sex.
