Reviews

[Bianca Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the truths hidden in this tiny little book of encouragement for mothers who want to honor the Lord in their motherhood. I only withheld a star from my review because I can't put my finger on why exactly, but maybe the chapters could have flowed better or been a bit fuller.
