Book Review-Mom's Bible

This is a review of The Mom’s Bible: God’s Wisdom for Mothers. Bobbie Wolgemuth writes the notes in The Mom’s Bible. The translation used for The Mom’s Bible is the New Century Version. The Mom’s Bible has features that make passages and scripture applicable to our daily lives as moms. The features included in the Mom’s Bible are Our God is, which points out things for you to know about God; Walking in takes a look at our daily attitudes; Godly Character encourages openness to strengthening godly character and growing Christlike hearts; Passing it On is a scriptural look at the legacy we pass on to our children; Moms in the Bible features life lessons for our mothering roles from moms in the Bible; Insights are short writings linked to Bible passages regarding motherhood; Wonderful Counselor is a feature written by a Christian Therapist to help moms uncover issues that need to be addresses in order for us to be free and used by God; Questions Kids Ask features Bible-based answers to questions children ask about God, life and the Bible; First Touch provides an instant word and favorite inspirational verses for quick access to scripture when your time is limited. Overall this Bible provides insights and notes that were new to me as a mother. I have enjoyed the features Moms in the Bible, Walking In and Wonderful Counselor. This Bible doesn’t skirt around tough issues that we face as moms, but hits them head on so that the Spirit will be free to work. The only thing that I think would improve The Mom’s Bible, would be better packaging. The outward appearance of The Mom’s Bible is a little drab and doesn’t stand out. I more fun cover and packaging might be more appealing to young moms especially.
