How To Have a H.E.A.R.T. for Your Kids

by Hal | November 15th, 2011

When I hear about a parenting book, I want to know what kind of folks the authors really are. Well, we’ve known Rachael Carman for many years, have seen her in stress, have watched her with her children, have seen her with her husband, have worked together to promote homeschooling with her and have done business with their company. She’s the real deal. This is a woman you need to know.

How to Have a H.E.A.R.T. for Your Kids follows Rachael’s journey from an ordinary mom who loved her children just like everybody does to a mother who’s constantly seeking God’s heart and His love for her children. Don’t worry, Rachael isn’t one of those supermoms who make you feel hopeless, she’s a real mom who shares her mistakes and is vulnerable so that we can be encouraged. Get a copy of this funny, helpful, encouraging and inspiring book! Highly recommended. $13 Great for gifts — a lovely book!

    Wow, this looks fantastic. Having strived to build myself to the Lord’s expectations of me first as a woman, then as a wife, and then as a mother, I would certainly be blessed to be able to further my walk and knowledge with this resource. Thank you!
