Becoming MomStrong: How to Fight with All That's in You for Your Family and Your Faith
Review Date: 9/21/2017


I love Heidi's heart for God, for strengthening families, and for encouraging mothers of every age. That passion shows in every page of her new book. I devoured it in two days, then immediately ordered three more copies to give to friends. BECOMING MOMSTRONG inspires me to make the most of the time I still have with my children at home. Half of them are already grown and gone -- several with spouses and children of their own -- and I don't want to grow weary as I teach and train the rest of them. Heidi does a terrific job of reminding us what our highest priorities as mothers should be. I'm excited to be a part of the MOMSTRONG movement!


The Busy Homeschool Mom's Guide to Romance: Nurturing Your Marriage Through the Homeschool Years
Review Date: 2/21/2014


Ive been seeing advertisements for Heidi St. Johns book, The Busy Homeschool Moms Guide to Romance, for years now.

From the first time I spotted that adorable picture of Heidi on the cover, I knew it was a book I would enjoy. But being the busy homeschool mom that I am, I didnt get around to ordering a copy until a couple of weeks ago.

Once it arrived, I blazed through it quickly. Its a fast read, but chock full of godly wisdom and practical advice for busy wives at every age and stage of life (whether theyre homeschooling moms or not).

Everybody Wins: The Chapman Guide to Solving Conflicts Without Arguing (Marriage Saver)
Review Date: 8/23/2019


Subtitled The Chapman Guide to Solving Conflicts without Arguing, Everybody Wins offers sage advice for married couples who need help learning to fight fairly.

In this slim volume, Chapman outlines the principles of conflict-resolution he teaches couples in his counseling practice. Ideally, both husband and wife should read the book and put these concepts into action. But even if only one of them does so, they'll likely see a reduction in the amount of arguing that takes place at home.

Chapman stresses the importance of listening with a good attitude and the goal of understanding. Of asking smart questions to clarify what your partner is saying. And of working as a team to resolve conflicts in ways that are mutually agreeable and beneficial.

The author draws on a wealth of counseling experience. He cites stories of how clients who were formerly at an impasse were able to successfully find solutions through applying these simple guidelines.
