TRULY A REST STOP

Susan Titus Osborn's title says it all: Rest Stops for Busy Moms. In my hurry-scurry world, her new book renews and encourages me. She covers friends, blessings, coping with trials, simple pleasures, memories, kindness, humor, priorities, God's still small voice, and even angels--all in a quick, concise way, which is what "busy moms" or "busy people" need. Thanks, Susan, for a wonderful read. Your small, hardcover book packs a great big punch. It's like a visit with a friend--warm, refreshing, and relaxing.
Encouragement and relaxation!

I smiled lots as I read this book, for its writers seemed to know me. Like Ronica Stromberg's essay on "Play Shoes," in which she deals with the old advice to play with your children instead of doing housework. "Where," she asked, "do such people store eighteen years of dirty laundry?" Amen! But there is balance for busy Christian moms, and in this compilation, Susan Titus Osborn has given us humor and insights. The short chapters are just right for the cracks of full schedules. And the insights offered by its contributors help to restore perspectives. The small, hardback format makes it an excellent gift book or one to leave on the coffee table and freely loan.
