Book Reviews May 2017



May was kind of slow if you compare it to previous months this year. We just had so much going on and downtime was limited. Normally I would read after putting the kids down, but most nights I’ve found myself so tired that I would end up in the bed shortly after. I’m hoping to read a bit more now that summer is here. I hope you’ll join this month’s What We’re Reading Wednesday for some more great titles!



These reviews are my personal opinions and I have not been compensated in any way for sharing my thoughts.




 

In this book, the authors take a look at the love languages as children. This book helped me identify the various types of love languages in children and I have been able to apply the principles that I’ve learned, not just with my own children, but the children in my classroom. Every child has a specific way that they respond and need responded to in order to feel fulfilled and loved. This was a great and easy read.




 

 For the most part, I really enjoyed Meeker’s perspective. She offers practical advice for the busy mom. She gets that life gets messy and complicated and she appreciates how hard we try to wear all the hats we are given. I was once again reminded about the importance of self-care and how adult relationships are essential, even though we often neglect these two areas while we are in the throes of motherhood.




 

This devotional is a keeper. Its daily inspiration and scripture are ideal for anyone waiting on well, anything. I’ve gotten to know the author over the last year and her heart is poured out on every page. For anyone searching for answers in the wait, this devotional will help you keep perspective, be encouraged, and provide applicable advice.




 

This story was a little slow for me, but a decent read. It also reminded me to not forget that we often do not see what is going on under the surface in the lives of others. The emotions experienced by all of the main characters were raw and well developed. My heart ached for the parents of the mute girl and yet, I could often understand why she chose to remain silent.
