“The difference between a good mom and a great mom
is her supreme confidence in her supreme God. – The
Confident Mom, Joyce Meyer
Joyce Meyer is back with The Confident Mom, a follow
up to The
Confident Woman and The Confident Woman Devotional.
Joyce states that God wants us get our minds off our own
natural flaws and inabilities and look towards him for assistance.
In The Confident Mother, Joyce shares stories of
mothers (as well as others) in the bible, as well as her stories
of motherhood and scripture for daily situations. Joyce wants
mothers to stop condemning themselves for not being perfect.
Don’t torment yourself if you miss a game or don’t
make a batch of brownies for a party.
Meyers covers the tougher parts of parenting, such as discipline.
Meyer explains it’s about focusing on God, not our own
personal preference. Don’t exasperate your children
by coming down hard on them. Keep your children under control
without being controlling. And again, it comes down to your
walk with God as well as theirs.
Meyer’s goal is to give mothers confidence in raising
their children. Meyer wants to let mothers know what important
leaders they are in their children’s lives. Mothers
will make mistakes, but God is merciful. We can pick up and
move on with forgiveness. As mothers, we are not alone; God
is with us and will lead us in raising faithful, emotional
strong & confident children.
I, personally, speak with people every day who are raising
someone else’s child -- Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles,
etc. Confident Mom speaks to anyone and everyone
raising a child.
Jodi Carlisle reads The Confident Mom in a gentle,
enlightening tone. It’s the caring, understanding tone
even a mother needs to hear when life is harried, mistakes
are made, energy is dissipating, and no one else is there
to assist. It’s beautifully done.
Carlisle also narrates three other Meyer titles: Power
Thoughts Devotional, You Can Begin Again, and The
Approval Fix.
