The Holiday Series is Available!

 

 

 

 

Holiday Series tackles some pretty difficult subjects.  My hopes are that Mothers and Daughters read these books together and then discuss them.  Internet bullying, abortion, zero tolerance and its consequences, disrespectful and rude behavior as well as forgiveness, cancer, waiting for answers from God in God's time not ours, finding out the world does not revolve around us.

 

It is difficult raising teens in today's world.  It is also difficult to find a way to talk with them without it being stilted and preachy!  Maybe reading these books and then just discussing them on a car ride or sitting at the kitchen table would be a great way to begin these difficult situations. 

 

I would love to hear from you - let me know how the discussions were.  I'll be praying for you!
