Hi, friend!

Cyber Monday Deals from The Better Mom!

Cyber Monday Deals from The Better Mom!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Our family has much to be thankful this year as my hubby recovers from his second stem cell transplant and his cancer has been put into remission. He will start his maintenance medication soon and we are looking forward to long lasting remission. Please keep praying for the cancer to stay away! Your prayers for healing, courage and strength have gotten us through this past year. Thank you โค๏ธ.

I know this week is a week full of deals so I couldnโ€™t let it pass by without offering all of our resources here at The Better Mom to you at a great price! As I wrote last week in my list of meaningful gifts, it has become tradition over the years to give each child one gift in particular to spur them on and encourage them in their faith, which can be a Bible, journal, devotional etc. I also get one gift for the whole family, such as an advent book, game etc.

For other family members I really try to make at least one gift meaningful. There is something so special when the loved ones in our lives can see the sentiment behind the gifts we give them. Those will be the gifts they remember. These resources below would fit into that category of a meaningful gift for spiritual growth and I hope this sale is a blessing to you.

As moms, we can all struggle to keep it together sometimes. In a moment, anger or frustration can spill out. The battle for Jesus to reign in our hearts and through our emotions is a fight we all face ---every single day.  
From Grouchy to Great is a devotional filled with real life stories that will help you:  
*Be encouraged that the battle can be won by God's grace and wisdom
*Discover practical ways to overcome anger
*Strengthen your resolve as you face day-to-day struggles
*Walk in the freedom that God offers
*And more! 
The good news, my friend, is that we don't have to face this battle alone. Joy can be yours in the journey of motherhood!

From Grouchy to Great is available for the cyber Monday price of only $9.99 on Amazon! You can grab your paperback copy HERE.


Parents and children, join your experienced tour guide Doc on a journey through different books of the Bible!! A typical Dig lesson consists of the following four components:

1. The Map: The Map tells you and your child where youโ€™ll be going in each lesson. It is a short summary of the study ahead.

2. The Dig: The Dig is the main passage you will be studying. Following each passage will be several questions designed to help conversation and understanding. They are meant to be a guide. You can use them or tweak them to help you talk with your children.

3. The Treasure: The Treasure is the big idea of each lesson. In a short statement, it is what you want your child to remember from the passage you studied.

4. The Display: When an archaeologist finds a treasure, they will clean it up and put it on display for everyone to see. This is the basic idea of the Display. It is the application of the Treasure you have found!

Throughout this study of James, parents and children will explore practical wisdom for everyday life as they learn how to put their faith into action!

Get away, get outdoors, and get into Godโ€™s Word! The Warrior Weekend is a resource to help dads raise boys to be Godly men. Written as a devotional, it is full of biblical wisdom specific to boys, applicable stories of brave men, and adventurous activity ideas or a weekend away. The Warrior Weekend is a great resource for helping dads and sons explore Godโ€™s Word and Godโ€™s world together. During The Warrior Weekend, there will be three lessons you will explore and complete together.

Each lesson consists of the following components:

Warrior Account: Each lesson will have a real life account of a warriorโ€™s story in history. These are different men who have done extraordinary things. These accounts are meant to illustrate a biblical principle or truth outlined in that particular lesson.

Warrior Activity: Each lesson will have an activity that you and your son will complete together. These activities are meant to be adventurous and fun. They are also meant to illustrate the main theme of each lesson.

Warrior Application: After reading the warrior account and completing the warrior activity, you and your son will sit down together and discuss the application. This will be a chance to discuss what Godโ€™s Word says about how boys are created for Godโ€™s purposes.

My prayer is that this resource and weekend will be instrumental in helping your son(s) continue learning what it means to grow up and be Godly men! The Warrior Weekend is a great resource for you and your son(s) or it can be used in a group. Feel free to invite more dads and their sons!
