The Mom I Want to Be

At the Book Expo, I enjoyed talking with Suzie Eller, the author of the book The Mom I Want to Be (Harvest House). Her life stories, as shared through her book, had a powerful impact on me as my husband and I prepare to welcome our first baby into the world. Suzie was able to turn her abusive past into a blessing and to learn from her parents' mistakes so that she would not repeat them with her own children. A gifted author, speaker and mentor to young people, Suzie writes in a fresh, compelling style that I really enjoy. One of her most powerful points is that we must discover and rest in our own identity in Christ (as daughters of the Most High God) before we will be able to teach our sons and daughters to have a strong, positive self-identity.

Thanks, Suzie, for sharing your insights! To buy Suzie's book, see amazon.com/Mom-Want-Be-Rising-Future/dp/0736917551/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239459124&sr=8-1. Enjoy!
