A Must Read for parents needing a spiritual pick-me-up

This is that one book that can completely change my day around. It is filled with so many observations and feelings that I completely relate to, like when the author comments in a devotional that he does not want to be responsible that day--he wants a day off. Other passages make me look at things in a whole new light, like when the author was getting ready for company and tried to look at house duties as an act of love, instead of the drudgery that they can often feel. The meditations are so quick (1-2 minutes) but they are not written in a preachy form where you feel the person is telling you something else you should be doing. Instead, it's written by a person who is right there with you--in the ups and the downs of parenting. The Scripture passages complement the message perfectly, and I feel the author was truly guided when he wrote this book.

The perfect way to start your day!

Mr. McGrath has done a wonderful job at compiling short anecdotes of every day occurences in a traditional family that will make you laugh or bring tears to your eyes. Either way, the daily paragraph and perfectly matched scripture passage will reaffirm your parenting efforts and give you a sense of order in the sometimes caotic family life. The one or two minutes you'll spend reading the daily message will set you off on your way to having a great parenting day.
