Third time through the book

I have just completed my third reading one this book. I have recommended it to several friends, and plan to gift it to some family members who are almost into this stay of parenting. I’m down to one daughter left in high school, one a junior in college and one married and fully fledged, and I’m on the cusp of being a grandmother. I have found such strength, reflection and hope in the Lord through this book. Thank you.

Enlightening

I chose to listen through Amazon Audible and wound up purchasing the book as well - simply to review, highlight, and jot down personal notes. What a wonderful listen (and read) for those with children who are about to embark upon graduating amongst other milestones. As a mom of two 18 months apart from one another, this book has been a saving grace.
