How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You? (Apologia Educational Ministries, March 2015)
You’ve probably said these things to your kids, but have you listened to what you’re saying?
“I remember the day you were born.”
“Turn down the music!”
“This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.”
“Hold my hand.”
Your heavenly Father wants to tell you many of these same things. 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.

{MY THOUGHTS}
If I'm being honest I only received this book a few days ago, so I haven't gotten too far yet, but it's not what I thought it was. I thought it was a book on how to be a godly parent, or how to NOT use the typical "mom" phrases with your kids, but it turned out to be a daily devotional. I was hoping it was a parenting book, but I can already tell that I will enjoy this book. Each chapter is about 3 pages, and very easy to get through. While I haven't found too many shockingly profound things yet, I still think it's a nice light devotional for people who want something short. I've been reading CS Lewis and John Piper lately, so it's a nice change of pace. Some nights you want something deep and very thought provoking, other nights you want something that will bless you with limited amount of time needed.
