Rediscover the gift of motherhood with The Better Mom Devotional by Ruth Schwenk. As a busy mom of four, she understands the constant needs of raising a family, but she has uncovered a secret: becoming a better mom starts not with what you are doing but with who you are becoming.
One hundred devotions will encourage and inspire you with Scripture, reflection questions, and journaling space to jot down your thoughts and prayers. Each devotion, filled with Bible teaching, personal stories, and application, will help you open your heart to experience more of God’s love, truth, and grace.
Find freedom from mom-guilt, the myth of perfection, and the endless to-do list of motherhood, and step into your greatest adventure yet: becoming The Better Mom.
The Better Mom
At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. It is my sincere hope and prayer that God uses this book to encourage moms everywhere with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess.
Just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood, to shape us. It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become.

For Better or For Kids is about remembering that children may join you in marriage, but they don’t have to come between you in marriage! We can make a vow to love our spouse with kids in the house.
For Better or For Kids is a book packed full of our personal stories of marriage and parenting over the last 18 years. The truth is the transition from “married” to “married with children” can be tough. We have less alone time. Busier schedules. Tighter budgets. As much as you love your children and work hard to nurture and train them for the future, the challenges that come with parenthood can make the “for better or for worse” promise a hard one to honor.

From Grouchy to Great - Finding Joy in the Journey of Motherhood
Hoodwinked equips mothers to stop searching for the secret and develop and embrace their relationships instead- with their kids, other mothers, and most importantly, with God.
Karen Ehman and Ruth Schwenk have had enough of these misconceptions. Myths such as: "The way I mother is the right (and only) way," "Motherhood is natural, easy, and instinctive," or "My child's bad choice means I'm a bad mom." These myths leave moms hoodwinked and sometimes even heartbroken.

With questions for reflection, From Grouchy to Great will help guide you through 26 days of understanding your anger triggers and help you take steps to controlling those emotions better.
Connect with God as a family in just a few minutes each night
You love your children and want to pass your faith on to them, but in the busy activity of daily life, it's not as easy as it sounds.
The Bedtime Family Devotional is exactly the helpful, hopeful family resource you need to strengthen your faith as a family. It includes 90 days of biblically grounded devotions, prayers, and action steps. As you walk through these pages together at the end of each day, you will not only instill God's Word in your children's hearts, but you will equip them to:
● understand basic theology
● develop Christlike character and virtue
● discover their unique God-given gifts
● live as confident witnesses in the world
Organized into three sections, this devotional helps parents answer three important questions: What do I want my child to know? What do I want my child to be? What do I want my child to do?
Before your children's heads hit the pillow, let Jesus be the last thing on their minds.
