Summary:Rachael Carman knows how noisy it can be when you’re raising children—she has seven! But this lovely devotional book will help you to hear God’s still, small voice amid the chaos of carpools,cut fingers, and carpet crawlers. You’ll learn how to recognize God’s instructions for you, even as you seek to follow His example as a parent.

About the AuthorRachael Carman is an author and speaker for Apologia Educational Ministries. The wife of Davis and the mother of seven children, Rachael challenges parents to live by reckless, obedient faith. As a direct reflection of her heart’s desire to encourage, inspire, and celebrate motherhood, Rachael also leads Real Refreshment Retreats, weekend events that energize and invigorate homeschooling mothers with meaningful worship and speakers plus practical encouragement for the homeschool journey.

My Thoughts I have two children and life is not the easiest these days. My four year old is trying my patience hourly and my one year old is copying everything he does. I’ve tried a lot of different tactics and some have worked (and some have been epic fails). I read this book with an open mind looking for any tips I could use to help my family make it through the terrible fours a little easier. I loved that each chapter ended with “A moment of introspection”. The questions helped you bring the chapter around to your life. Even if you aren’t religious this book has some great tips to help you deal with the trials of raising children.
