Queen of the Universe: Encouragement for Moms & Their World-Changing Work

Aughtmon (Expectant Blessings) provides weary, sleep-deprived moms with 52 devotionals in the goal of helping readers feel comfortable with and enthusiastic about being parents. She shares her best (and worst) mothering escapades as she raise her three boys to live a life within God’s grace. Readers can expect to laugh as they gain timely tidbits of wisdom on how to avoid the potential (often inevitable) parenting minefields. Aughtmon’s sage advice is to view one’s mothering role as a queen overseeing her tiny kingdom, and behave as such. Christians will appreciate the author’s faith-based essays that help to put even the “big-fails” of parenting in proper perspective. This small book is tailored for moms who need a good word—and a good laugh even more. (Mar.)
