    Saturated with godly wisdom...
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2013*

I'll admit it. Sometimes I read books for other people. I'm in their shoes while I'm reading, analyzing how the book applies mostly to them. I started "Desperate: Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe" certain that it would be the perfect resource for other moms out there, but unwilling to admit that I might be partly desperate too.In "Desperate," authors Sarah Mae & Sally Clarkson write disarmingly, with vulnerability and grace. They create a safe place for moms to admit, "Yes, I am desperate" and a healing place for moms to find hope to move forward. So, yes. I am one of the desperate ones. Thank you Sarah & Sally."Desperate" is not a formula book, with all the answers. But it is saturated with godly wisdom. It refuses to offer trite formulas, but rather lays out insights clearly gained from seeking God in the trenches.Here are some of my favorite insights:* God is my audience.* There is a potential connection between frequently administered spankings and shame/self-loathing in young children.* Home should be a place to be enjoyed. It's not meant to be a place to live in fear of whether I'm adequately following all the standards placed on me by this or that child-rearing manual.* One of the goals of the authors is to train women to create life-giving homes.* One way to make home a place to be enjoyed is to introduce my kids to my passions--and in the big picture, I'll be making best friends with my kids.* Look out for addictions/idols that can crop up as a refuge from spending 24/7 with young children.* Examine the way Jesus discipled his followers as I seek to disciple my kids.* A question to ask regularly: "What did I do to whisper the secrets of the kingdom of heaven into the hearts of my children today?"* Jacob wrestling with the angel is a picture of what God wants me to do as I pray for my kids: to prevail, to keep holding on, to seek God and expect Him to bless us."Desperate" isn't just meant to be a read-it-and-forget-it book. It's written with growth in the context of community in mind. Each chapter ends with study/discussion questions. Each chapter also ties in with a 3-minute author interview on YouTube.Mae & Clarkson have crafted a resource for young moms that is the perfect balm for a worn-out soul. I believe "Desperate" is poised to impact not just a generation of moms, but also, by God's grace, this current generation of children under our care.I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

    Comforting, Encouraging, Enlightening, Uplifting and Profitable!  A wise purchase indeed!
  

*by N***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2013*

When I first heard about this book being released entitled "Desperate, HOPE for the mom who needs to breathe," I was eager to access a copy and dive into the writings of Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson, two authors I had already come to respect and appreciate through their other writings.  These heart-felt, real, story-like chapters open up the raw genuine feelings many mothers face, yet may be afraid to admit or address.  "I just can't be a mother today," reads a line on the back of the book.  Even with good intentions and strong desires to be a Godly mother, many of us run out of our own strength and stamina.  Yet the very Lord, who gave us these dear children as they are, has arranged everything for us to seek Him first and need Him desperately through the journey.  We may be desperate, but NOT defeated! This is not a method-filled read or a series of expert's recommendations, but a book with a goal to turn mothers first to see they are not alone in the battle, to seek God first, and to pray for companions to pursue with. Sarah Mae has the close up view of the motherhood adventures with tales of life with her babies and toddlers fresh for sharing, while Sally has the bird's eye vision of the journey with her life lived to raise her children through much learning, failing, turning and seeking out God's ways.  Together, they mentor and shepherd the reader tenderly and empathetically through anecdotes, lessons learned in retrospect, scripture portions, and questions to consider.  I appreciate their heart to reach mothers and silence the lies of the enemy who desires to isolate, attack and depress mothers who could be key warriors to raise children for God's purpose.  As some have said before, this book reads like chatting with a friend over coffee. It's comforting, encouraging, enlighteging, uplifting and profitable for your time.  A wise purchase indeed!

    Wonderful and much needed book
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2013*

I dont usually do book reviews but i just had to do this one. Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson have written a book called "Desperate: Hope For The Mom Who Needs To Breathe" and I want to tell you about it - in fact i really want to shout it from the rooftops!! It is a wonderfully written book - a conversation between a mum who is in the midst of the struggles of having younger children, and a mum who has been there and come out the other side. It is full of godly wisdom, taking you back to the Bible time and time again, reminding us that we aren't alone. Not only so we have other mums all over the world who are going through the exact same emotions as us, but as God's children we have the Holy Spirit living in us, there to help us when we just seek Him.I have four boys and being in a house full of boys toys and boisterous souls has really challenged me - a girly girl! But God has a wonderful plan for each of us and He chose ME to be their mum, even in the midst of my pain and struggles, and I know He is there to help me every step of the way. I need to remember this every day - and this book really helped me to re-focus and take real joy in the stage of life we are in.I would advise any mum who is struggling, who feels as if she is being pulled apart and can't breathe, to get this book and to really get back what God says about being a mum. You will cry, laugh and be amazed as they appear to be talking about your life... and you will find verses, tips and love in every page.  There are even videos of the two authors linked at the end of each chapter, and questions for you to answer to get the most out of the book.
