<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Mission work isn't for the faint of heart. Neither is being a mom.</b><br /><br />When you see Christians who are called to be missionaries changing the world soul by soul, staying at home doing day-to-day parenting can feel like you're stuck in an uninspiring life. Mom, don't despair: you have your own sacred calling to a mission field of vital importance--your children.<br /><br />Moms and mission workers have more in common than you may think: A missionary may need to learn a foreign language and new customs to understand and communicate with those around her. A missionary has to follow the path God puts before her, sacrificing sleep, comfort, time, and toilets. Sound like any moms you know?<br /><br />In her informal, funny voice, Shontell Brewer tackles everything from mom guilt to the temptation to be a martyr to those days when it feels like only a box of cookies and a Netflix binge can restore your sense of peace. But she'll also help you understand the truth that there's more to parenting than potty training and dentist appointments. With determination and a few purposeful steps, you can embrace your holy calling to lead your family--their hearts, souls, minds, and strength--to Christ.<br /><br />"Packed with practical advice, woven with Scripture, and seasoned with belly laugh-inducing humor, this book is a delight to read."<br />--Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, author of <i>Joey</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Missionary Mom</i> serves as both a rallying cry and a battle plan in the fight for our children. Packed with practical advice, woven with Scripture, and seasoned with belly laugh-inducing humor, this book is a delight to read. And yet it is so much more than an easy read. It is a foundational book for those who have the noble task of raising children, influencing children, or simply living on a planet full of children. This is a book I will recommend and refer to often in the years to come. I am so grateful for this invaluable resource."--Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, author of Joey: How a Blind Rescue Horse Helped Others Learn to See (8/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"As moms, we sometimes feel as if our daily work of mothering is rather mundane and lacking in importance. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. As Shontell so beautifully points out, motherhood is actually one of our greatest mission fields. What I especially love is that she doesn't merely leave us with that lovely concept--she also provides us with truly practical ideas, wisdom, and inspiration (and let's face it, a great sense of humor!) for how to go about being intentional missionaries as moms. We have the tools at our disposal, and Shontell teaches us how to use them. I highly recommend this book!"--Rebekah Hargraves, blogger and host of the Home and Hearth podcast (8/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Embracing the mission field right under your roof requires being 'willing, not worried.' With refreshing authenticity and humor, Shontell Brewer invites you to join her in celebrating the value and significant calling of motherhood in her book, <i>Missionary Mom</i>."--Tracy Levinson, author, Unashamed: Candid Conversations About Dating, Love, Nakedness, and Faith (8/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"I thought this would be a serious tome about mothering. I was right and oh so wrong. Funny, relatable, and to the point, Shontell Brewer brings levity to this weighty conversation. Do yourself a favor and <i>do not skip the marginal notes</i>. My eyes happily skipped to the side of the page every time I saw one! <p/> "Invite your mom friends to buy this book, then discuss it over coffee, even if you have to ignore the piled-up laundry or finally clear the dining room table to have them over."--Anna LeBaron, author of The Polygamist's Daughter: A Memoir (8/14/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"If you are looking for an engaging and intensely practical guide to what on earth you're supposed to do to raise kids who love one another and God, this is the book for you. I have watched Shontell walk this out and I am changed as a result."--Emily Thomas, host of the Mom Struggling Well podcast (8/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"No matter how you slice it, parenting is hard. So often we feel unqualified, certain we're falling short and doing it all wrong. But in the pages of this book, I've found encouragement to parent my kids regardless of my imperfections and misguided attempts. Brewer reminds us that 'nothing you do will screw up your kids so much that God cannot intervene.' This is the kind of freedom every mom needs. It reminds us that He is capable of our impossible. This is the best parenting book I've read in a long time, and a resource I will keep within reach."--Carey Scott, author of Unafraid: Be You, Be Authentic, Find the Grit and Grace to Shine (8/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br>
