Review:

"Mary knows just how to capture the attention of her reader as well as how to prepare them for life changing truths. I love the beginning of this book! My heart was in my throat, scared for Jacob and what his next step would be. And then, I love how Mary takes my fear and turns it into a heart and mind ready to see all the ways I can raise my children into confident and capable adults who will be able to navigate this difficult world. She shows how we can teach our kids how to understand their culture and then to be able to supersede it. This book is a must-read for every parent."
--Lane P. Jordan, author of 12 Steps to Becoming a More Organized Woman and 12 Steps to Becoming a More Organized Mom

"Mary issues some great thoughts and specific parenting tips to create an encouraging atmosphere for our children, but continually points to God's Word and Christ's example as the foundation for all of this wisdom. With her honest and relatable writing, I highly recommend this book."
--Caroline, UnderGodsMightyHand.com

"Mary gives us the tools to use, so that our children will not have to feel lost and alone navigating the world. When we have a ‘lost childhood' we sometimes don't know how to parent. Many times as I was reading I wished I had grown up in the type of home that Mary is giving her children right now. "She has written some powerful, helpful things to steer us on in You Can Raise Courageous and Confident Kids. Mary is a master storyteller, but she shows authenticity through brokenness, and for this reason I recommend this book."
--Donna Collins Tinsley
