Book Review "Organic Outreach for Families" by Kevin and Sherry Harney

I recently received a complimentary copy of the book "Organic Outreach for Families" by Kevin and Sherry Harney from Zondervan Publishing as part of the Booksneeze book review program.  The thoughts and opinions below are my honest opinion of the book and I was under no obligation to give a positive review. 
In this wonderful book by Kevin and Sherry Harney, they give many practical ways that you can turn your family and home into a lighthouse for your community.  The book begins with talking about how to share Jesus with your own children within your own home.  This is the only way our children will understand what it means to be a beacon of light for Jesus.  It then discusses how to raise children in this dark world.  I love how it gives different ways to make your home a safe haven, an emergency room, a playground, and a place of prayer.  They then talk about how to make your home a lighthouse and how you can reach out to extended family and neighbors.  I love how this book gives wonderful, practical ideas and activities to inspire Christians to reach out to the community and others.  It also helps you to teach your children what it means to reach out to others just as Jesus did and He commands us to do as well.  I highly recommend this book to families who wish to be a lighthouse in their community!!

Book Review: "Intentional Parenting" by Sissy Goff, David Thomas, Melissa Trevathan

I recently received a complimentary copy of the book "Intentional Parenting" by Sissy Goff, David Thomas, and Melissa Trevathan  by Thomas Nelson Publishing from Booksneeze as part of their book review program.  The opinions below are my own opinions of the book.

Sissy Goff, David Thomas, and Melissa Trevathan have many years of experience as counselors at Daystar Counseling in Nashville, Tennessee.  Bringing their expertise together, they have written a wonderful book that all parents need to read today.  Many parents today are just parenting on "autopilot" and trying to just get through each day with their children.  "Intentional Parenting" helps parents to discover things about themselves first so that they can then lead and help their children.  It is based around 12 chapters that are common myths in parenthood today.  Some of the chapters are how to be a patient parent, consistent parent, merciful parent, and hopeful parent.  I loved every chapter and needed to read each one.  I have heard Sissy Goff and David Thomas speak before so I was very excited to review this book.  It did not disappoint and I will be reading this book again and again and adding it to my library.
