Title Tuesday: Too Blessed to be Stressed
Welcome to Title Tuesday, my favorite day of the week! This day is dedicated to book suggestions, news, cartoons, and reviews. I write this portion of my blog because I am a big believer in the motivational speaker Charlie Jones' quote which says, "You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” I try to meet as many new people as possible and to read everything I can. This is my way of sharing that information with you. You can see a visual summary of the books I have reviewed for both adults and children over on my Facebook page. If you are interested in understanding my rating system for books you can read my Book Review Explanation here and What I Believe here. If you want to check out what I am currently reading or what I want to read next, friend me on Goodreads!
Good morning!
As many of you know I am in very busy stage of life.
My husband is in the military and we have 3 children 3 and under. While I am incredibly grateful for my family life can get a bit crazy if I don't keep a tight hold on things.
So when I got an opportunity to review Debora M. Coty's book "Too Blessed to Be Stressed for Moms" I jumped at the chance. At first I was put off y the flowery cover (if you have been reading my Title Tuesday posts for any length of time you know that I wish women's books weren't so...girly) but let me tell you, Mrs. Coty does not disappoint!
What I loved:
- Her stories are truly hilarious.
- She has 3-5 questions at the end of each chapter that could easily be used in a group setting
- Each chapter starts with a scripture that directly correlates to the chapter (no fluff!)
- Her entire chapter titled "Patience Should be a Verb". (Seriously go read it!)
What I didn't like:
The book is stylized, meaning text in the actual book is brown (to match the cover decor) rather than black. I know that may not seem like a big deal to most people but if you are a mom that struggles with reading and you are already fried that could really be off putting.
Overall, I give "Too Blessed to Be Stressed for Moms" by Debora M. Coty a solid B+. This book would make a fabulous baby shower gift, Mother's Day gift for a mom with several littles, or potential book for conversation in women's groups.
