Made well

Made well by Jenny Simmons. This is such a good book! It follows he scripture of Jesus saying "do you want to be made well" and rmtalks about our physical, spiritual and emotional. It's about finding Jesus working in ways we didn't see. We all look for the large instantaneous healings, we want to see them we want to feel them, to have them happen to us but then we often miss the gentle quiet ways that God is working in our lives to make all hints work out for the good of those who love Him. She has many suggestions on how to seek our healings and how to find them. To look in the unexpected places, to hold loosely to our own plans. Sometimes healing is work. Hard work! As we hear through the authors own struggles and victories!

Discipline that connects with your child's heart

Discipline that connects with your child's heart, by Jim and Lynne Jackson. So the title is pretty self explanatory to what it's about lol. So I won't get into that much! Basically we learn methods of discipline and parenting that are beneficial to both the parent and child. That let the child know they are safe, loved but also that they're responsible for their own actions and consequences. It's very similar to Danny Silk's loving your kids on purpose. Which is also an excellent book. I love this style of parenting and they had to make it happen in my life even if I am usually not as successful as I'd like to be. There's a lot of practical ideas and suggestions. As well as stories of such suggestions in use etc. I only wish they had more on parenting a strong willed child and how to effectively disciple them. I could really use that! Over all it's a great book and full of healthy parenting styles!!! I do recommend this!!
