"The moments of highest positive impact in my children's lives come to me in the most inconvenient moments." Which reminds us to act on those things that we value most.

Last summer, I read Power in Prayer by David Christensen and loved it! I recently took a month and read a chapter each day and felt a deeper understanding of prayer. I also received answers to some prayers that I had been seeking for a while.
I was excited to dig into this book, too! It's the same format as Power in Prayer. There are 31 short chapters which discuss different principles. Each chapter starts with a quote and then the author shares his thoughts and stories about the topic. There is a "Parenting Self-Examination" section at the end, along with "Scriptures for Study" and "A Parting Thought." He also includes a short paragraph (which is the same) at the very end of each chapter that reminds us as parents where we need to turn for help in raising our children.
There are lots of topics to read about: obedience and discipline, be consistent, love them, teach them about work, foundation of love, balancing what's important, time, influence of grandparents, and joy in the journey, to name a few.
There's no formula for raising children. I have two and they are both so different. I love to read books that give me tools to become a better parent. This book is full of great advice, quotes, stories and scriptures. I felt like I was given plenty to think about and consider, along with actions to start taking right away.
One of my favorite chapters is Principle 27, Joy in the Journey. He talks about the importance of enjoying and building memories in whatever stage of life you're in. When my children were young, I found myself looking forward to when they would be older. I'm loving the ages where my kids are right now so I feel like I'm doing a better job savoring the moments with them but I know that I can still improve. I love the reminder to enjoy each stage and to reflect on what I can do today to make sure there are no regrets later.
I needed to read this book quickly but I'm looking forward to taking one principle a day for a month to study each topic more and find ways to help my children and become more confident in my parenting. I love the format this author uses and hope there are more of these kinds of books in the future!
I received a copy of this book to review. My opinion is 100% my own.
