Thank you Tiany for sharing about the book!

I so enjoy sharing with mom's, but I think each mom has to find her own deep well of joy, if she wants to be a successful homeschooling mom. We can not give what we do not have- so each mom needs to have a solid foundation of joy in her own life.Many mom's have a heart full of love, a pocketfull of school ideas, and a real lack of happiness. We search for the perfect books or ideas that will make our homeschools a place of peace and joy. We try our best, and feel like we are failing.

It really has nothing to do with books or grades. It really is our heart condition- we are not connected in a real tangible way to our Creator. We are trying to get through the days on our own. We are left feeling empty and sad.

And sadly, many mom's look to that big yellow bus to solve the problem.No problem is ever solved by shipping it off though.

The truth is it is not our kids or books. It is us. We have been taught about salvation and we believe. Yet the power we should have is not there. Why?Because we only got the beginning of the journey! No one ever took the time to show us the rest of the path! The Bible seems hard to understand- because we have always been told it is hard! The Bible seems like a rule book, instead of the love letter it really is!

In my book I walk you verse by verse into a new world of joy! Into a joy that can not be shaken! I show you joy where you least expect it! You will never read the Bible the same way again! Bible study will never seem dry or difficult again! Joy will pop out of the pages and into your heart!I truly wish I had a ton of money- so I could give the book to each mom I meet! I hope this $15 special will help get the books into the hands of more women who need to hear my message of joy! If you can ladies, please buy a copy- read it- and then pass it on!We all carry so much baggage and guilt around with us. It keeps us stuck in the past. God wants us moving forward in joy! Loved, forgiven, and happy! I hope in my small way I can help you find your way. Hugs, Barbara
