Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul 2

by N-A

"A mother is not be compared with any other person- she is incomparable" - African ProverbThere is no one like a mother. Our mothers give us life, love us, take care of us and want the best for us, no matter how old we are. They never stop being our mothers. There is no way to adequately describe the figt they have given us.And no other experience in the world compares to being a mother. Being pregnant, going through labor and childbirth, and for both adoptive and biological mothers, seeing your baby's face for the very first time-these powerful occurrences are just the start of the uniquely compelling role in life we call motherhood.It is because mothers have such a special place in our hearts that the first Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul was created. The book, Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul 2, was put together to answer the overwhelming demand of readers around the world who loved our first Chicken Soup book for mothers and wanted another helping. The books can be enjoyed in any order- you don't have to read the first book, however, according to our readers once you have read the first one you will want another helping in the second book.

This book was perfect for the brief moments I have while working or sitting in the van waiting for a kid. It was the perfect palate cleanser after finishing a disturbing book because it was light and not intense.

As a personal preference, the chapter about "miracles" was a little much for me but I'm not going to knock the stories in them.

You can't go wrong reading a chicken soup book... Every story in them is heartwarmin and soul lifting... When your having a hard ay with your kids lock yourself in your room for 10 minutes let them rampage and read a short story. you'll walk our with more patience than you can imagine.

I like to expand my maternal horizons.

There are some great, heartwarming stories but there are also stories which are heavy on God and religion so if that isn't your jam (like me), there are some to skip over.

If anyone reads these reviews, they might think I'm lying. How did I finish this book a day after Rainbow Valley? Truth is, this book has sat on my bedside table for some time. I'd read a few stories before bed (except the two about dying I skipped) and go to sleep feeling touched and sometimes amazed. I highly recommend the readers of the review doing the same. PS The beginning date is totally a mystery.

I gave this book to my mom 24 years ago; 9 years before she passed away. I hope she read it and knew that to me, she was every mother in every one of these stories.
It has taken me 13 years to finally read it myself and reflect on "motherhood", from being the child of a mother, to being a mother, to be a grandmother. I miss her every day, but reading these stories helped me feel her presence near; ever so close to my heart. Happy Mother's Day mom!

Not a mother, but this one speaks volumes to me.

Many touching stories of how mother's effect their children's lives. Some very happy stories and some tearjerkers.

Like others Chicken Soup, this book inspire me. It scared me as well, when I found that being mother was not as easy as what people say. My mum always says that it was easy to be a good mother as long as you have love (I Corinthians 13: 4-8). But, I know through this book, my mum didn't lie at all, but she forgot to tell me how hard it is to keep the love within.

I had never any version of Chicken Soup for the ... The stories were definitely tear jerking at times, but worth buying the extra Kleenex.
